When I was about 13, my father would take me on short outings on Saturdays．On the way home, Dad  21 stopped at the Dairy Queen for 10-cent ice creams．I couldn’t  22  it, but I could pray from the  23 we started heading home to that corner where we would either go straight for the ice cream or  24  and go home empty-handed．That corner  25  either mouth-watering excitement or 26 ．

One day, we were heading home, and again I was praying for the  27  sound of his offer．It  28 ．“Would you like an ice cream today?” “That sounds great, Dad!” But then he said, “Would you like to  29  today?”

“Twenty cents!” I thought to myself, “I can afford it．I got 25 cents’ pocket money and some  30  for odd jobs（零活）．Well,  31  it is enough, ice cream isn’t a good use of it.”    32 , I said, “Well, in that case, I guess I’ll  33 .” My father just said, “Okay, Son.”

But as we headed home, I realized how wrong I was and begged him to  34 ．But he just said, “That’s okay, we don’t really need one.” I felt  35  for my selfishness and ungratefulness．He didn’t mind, or  36  act disappointed．

From that I  37  generosity（慷慨）goes two ways and gratefulness (感谢) sometimes costs more than “thank you”．On that day gratefulness would have cost 20 cents and it would have been the  38 ice cream I’d ever had．

I’ll tell you one more thing．We  39  another trip the next week．As we  40  the corner, I said, “Dad, would you like an ice cream today? My treat.”

         At 30, Hill knows from experience how a woman feels when she  24  her hair．Her own hair fell out several years ago  25 a lack of iron after giving birth．“I cried when I washed it, when I combed it, and when I looked in the  26   ,” she says．Then she bought a wig．“It was too small,” she says, “but my   27   went up greatly．”

         Hill enrolled（注册） in a wig-making  28   in New York．Back home with what she learned, she started making wigs that she planned to   29   for $300 each．
