Dear Laura,

I just heard you tell an old story of gift giving and unselfish love in your program. You doubted that such unselfish love  would happen in today’s world. Well, I’m here to give you  36 .

  I wanted to do something very   37   for my fifteen year old son, who has always been the perfect child. He   38   all summer to earn enough money to buy a used motorcycle. Then, he spent hours and hours on it   39   it looked almost new. I was so   40   of him that I bought him the shiniest helmet and a riding outfit.

I could   41   wait for him to open up his gift. In fact, I barely slept the night before. Upon awakening. I went to the kitchen to   42   the coffee, tea, and morning goodies. In the living room was a beautiful keyboard with a   43  : “To my wonderful mother, all my love, your son.”

I was so   44  . It had been a long standing joke in our family that I wanted a piano so that I could   45   lessons. “L earn to play the piano, and I’ll get you one” was my husband’s   46 .

I stood there shocked, crying a river, asking myself how my son could   47   this expensive gift.

Of course, the   48   awoke, and my son was thrilled（激动的）with my reaction. Many kisses were   49  , and I immediately wanted him to   50   my gift.

As he saw the helmet and outfit, the look on his face was not   51   what I was expecting. Then I   52   that he had sold the motorcycle to get me the keyboard.

Of course I was the proudest mother   53   on that day, and my feet never hit the ground for a month.

So I wanted you to know, that kind of love still   54   and lives even in the ever changing world of me, me, me!

I thought you’d love to   55   this story.

                          Yours,

                          Hilary

P.S. The next day, my husband and I bought him a

new “used” already shiny motorcycle.
