The little boy turned to the old woman next to him, ‘‘Granny, are you sure I don’t have enough money?’’ She nodded. The little boy was still   36  the doll (洋娃娃) in his hand.
I walked toward him,   37  who he wished to give this doll to. “Sister. She was sure that Santa Claus would bring a doll to her.” I told him that maybe Santa Claus would do so. But he replied to me   38  . “No, Santa Claus(圣诞老人) can’t bring it to her   39  she is now. I have to give the doll to my mommy so that she can give it to my sister when she   40  there. My sister has gone to be with God. Daddy says that Mommy is going to see God very soon too,   41  I thought she could take the doll with her to give it to my sister.’’
The little boy looked   42  at me, “I told Daddy to tell Mommy not to go yet. I need her to wait until I come back from the mall. I   43  she didn’t have to leave me, but Daddy says that she has to go to be with my little sister.” Then he looked   44  at the doll with sad eyes.
I quickly   45  for my wallet. “Let’s check again, just in case you do have enough money for the doll!” “OK. I hope I do have enough.” I added some of my money to   46  without him seeing and we started to count it. There was enough for the doll and   47  some spare money. “Thank you God for giving me enough money!” He looked at me and   48 , “I wanted to have enough money to buy a white rose for my Mommy, but I didn’t dare to ask God   49  too much. But He gave me enough to buy the doll and a white rose. My mommy loves white roses.”
  50  I remembered a local newspaper article two days ago, mentioning a drunk man in a truck hit a car   51  by a young woman and a little girl. The little girl   52  right away and the mother was   53  in a critical state.
Two days   54  this encounter (偶然相遇) with the little boy, I read in the newspaper that the young   55  had passed away.

I walked down the row and found   39  was writing sentences, describing things they couldn’t do.
By this time the activity aroused my    40   , so I decided to check with the teacher to see what was going on,    41    I noticed she too was busy writing “I can’t get John’s mother to come for a parents’ meeting.” …I felt it best not to interrupt.
After another ten minutes, the students were instructed to fold the papers in half and bring them to the front. They placed their “I Can’t” statements into an empty shoe box. Then Donna   42    hers. She put the lid on the box, tucked it under her arm and headed out the door.
