Maureen stood by the lake．Suddenly the other children came running through the trees with sharp cries of the excitement．They rushed up to 1 , leaning over the crystal-clear water, and 2 the crowds of tiny fish．Some children demanded loudly to go to the boats, but all at once those who had been 3 behind at the ice-cream-stall(小摊)came running up 4 some announcement or other, and they all left the water and dashed back 5 they had come．With growing excitement, Maureen 6 after them．
When she saw 7 they had been running for, she stopped running．They were buying 8 again．The toy stall was open and they were crowded around it．Behind the stall a calm middle aged woman was selling a great variety of small rubbish．She took money from the 9 of small hands in exchanging for little boats, plastic dolls, yellow pencils and rubbers, anything．Maureen leaned(靠) 10 a tree, looking on．The idea of spending washed against her face like a strong current, trying to draw 11 in．
Nona Parker pushed out to the edge of the group 12 laid what she had bought on the ground 13 she could see what money she had left in her white purse．Under Maureen’s eyes 14 a boat, a mouth organ, and little plates of dolls’ food in colored plaster, a brown load of bread, a joint of beef, a pink pudding(布丁)—— 15 tiny and terribly desirable．Maureen was so full of the wish for the things like that she 16 bear to look at it．She turned her head 17 ．Her face against the tree, she shut her 18 and prayed eagerly for some money, for the price of a set of toy plates．
In a moment, she opened her eyes, but she didn’t turn back to the stall．It was too 19 to see the others buying whatever they wanted．She rubbed almost round the tree, her eyes on the ground．And 20 at her very feet was a ten pence piece．
As my wife greeted me one evening, her voice came through the door,“Guess what?”
I always take a deep 1 on this very leading question．“What?”I asked．
“I just won a sales contest at work and the 2 is dinner for two at the new fancy restaurant down by the river-front!”
She was so 3 ．We knew the restaurant was extremely good．“See?I told you there would be a 4 for me to wear my new spring outfit,”she shyly reminded me．
“ 5 can play at that game,”I responded．“I will wear my gray suit, my Borsalino imported straw hat and a new silk tie．We will be well 6 ．”
It was early 7 and nearing dusk as the waiter took us to a table by a window, with a(n) 8 of the river．And the table was 9 set, with a smoke-gray tablecloth and bright colored napkins．
A delicious meal 10 in such an atmosphere should be remembered a long time．As it 11 , this will probably never be forgotten．
As the shadows lengthened, the 12 rocking by the riverbank, I murmured,“Why not take a walk?”
Hand in hand, we walked by the stores．People smiled and nodded．“I 13 realized there were so many 14 people as we have seen this evening, dear,”I observed．
“Probably your new straw hat or your 15 ,”she said．
After receiving many smiles, we 16 ourselves back at the restaurant, looking at ourselves in the 17 ．It was then that I saw the 18 for all the smiles．
Caught in the fly of my trousers and 19 down for all to see was a bright red 20 from the restaurant!

This sounded like a 11 idea to all of us kids, so we kept on going with the stories．My mom knew the true story, 12 ．Bobby's mom was a single parent , and she suspected(怀疑)that they just couldn't 13 the Easter Bunny．
After Sunday School was over, everyone went off to 14 ．But my mom announced that we were going home 15 ．At home, she explained that to make Bobby feel 16 , we were going to pretend(假装)to be the Easter Bunny , make a basket of our candies for him and 17 it at church．We all donated(捐赠)some to the basket, and 18 back to church．There, mom hung the basket over the hanger(挂钩)and attached(附上)a(n) 19 ：
