The Best Holiday
I was unbelievably proud of my
nine-year-old daughter. Emily
41 to buy a mountain
bike. She’d been saving her pocket money all year, 42 doing small jobs to earn extra
money.
By Thanksgiving, she had collected only
$49. I said, “You 43 have your pick from my bicycle 44 .” “Thanks, Daddy. But your bikes are so
old.” She was right. All my girls’ bikes were 1950’s models, not the kind a kid today would 45 choose.
As Christmas 46 near, Emily and I went bike
shopping. As we left one store, she
__47 a Salvation Army
volunteer standing next to a big pot. “Can we give something, Daddy?” she
asked. “Sorry, I’m out of
48 .”
Throughout December, Emily continued to 49 hard. Then one day, she made
a __50 announcement. “You know all the
money I’ve been saving?” she said hesitantly. “I’m going to give it to the poor
people.” So one cold morning before Christmas, Emily handed her total savings
of $ 58 to a volunteer who was really very 51 .
52 by Emily’s
selflessness, I decided to contribute 53 of my old bicycles to a car dealer
who was collecting used bikes for poor children. 54 I selected a shiny model from my
collection, however, it seemed as if a second bike took on a glow (发光). Should I contribute two? No, one would be
enough. But I couldn’t
55 the feeling that I
should give a second bike. When I later 56 the bikes, the car dealer said,
“You’re making two kids very __57 ,
sir. Here are your tickets. For each bicycle contributed, we’re 58 away one chance to win a girls’
mountain bike.”
Why wasn’t I surprised when that second
ticket proved to be the
59 ? I like to think it was
God’s way of 60 a
little girl for a sacrifice beyond her years－while giving her dad a lesson in the process.
