When I was about 12 years old, I really wanted a new bike, but I knew there was little hope because my family could  36  have that money.
On my birthday, my parents told me they had my  37  outside in the back yard. At once I  38  out to the yard. There was my bike,  39  it wasn’t the bike that I thought it would be. This one was pink, old and worn with age. I thought I  40  my parents’ feelings because I could see the disappointment  41  their faces and I was sure they could see it on mine. I got on the old bike and rode it, feeling  42  that I had made my parents feel this way. So I put on a smile, rode as fast as I could and didn’t look back.
As time went by, I began to understand my parents gave me  43  much more than just a rusty（生锈的）old bike. They gave me a life lesson about  44 . When you give something out of love, it doesn’t matter what it is in fact. What matters is the love that is in it. I like to remember this  45  because giving a gift is not about money. It’s about how much love you can feel from it. Do remember, a gift that costs two dollars isn’t any less valuable than one that costs one hundred dollars, or even more.
