He handed his son a beautiful gift box.   19 , the young man opened the box and found a lovely Bible（圣经）with his name on it. Angrily, he raised his  20  to his father and said, “With all your money you give me a Bible? ” He then rushed out of the house, leaving the Bible.
Many years passed and the young man was very   21 in business, and had a beautiful home and a wonderful family.  22  that his father was very old, he thought perhaps he should go to see him.

He had to go home immediately and take care of the things that his father left him. When he began to search through his father’s important papers, he saw the still new Bible,   24   as he had left it years ago. He opened the Bible and began to turn the pages. As he was reading, a car key with a tag（标牌）dropped from the back of the Bible. On the tag was the    25   of his graduation, and the words “PAID IN FULL”. Sadness and regret（悔恨）filled his heart.
