Love in a Box

When I was a little girl, I found love in a box all because of a class assignment. On a Friday night I  36___  at dinner table, “MY teacher said we have to bring a box, a special box, for our valentines (情人节) on Monday”.

Mother said, “We’ll see,” and she continued eating.w

What did “We’ll see” mean? I had to have that box  37  my second grade Valentine’s Day would be a disaster. Maybe they didn’t love me enough to help me with my  38  .

All Saturday I waited  39   and with Sunday arriving, my concern increased, but I  40   an enquiry about the box might  41   anger or loud voice, for in my house children only asked once. More than that  42   trouble.w.

Late Sunday afternoon, my father called me into the kitchen. The table was covered with colorful  43   of different kinds. A (n)  44   shoebox rested on top of it.  45  flooded through me when Daddy said, “Let’s get started  46  your project.”

In the next hour my father  47 the shoebox into impressive valentine box. Colorful paper covered the ugly cardboard with red hearts  48 to what I considered all the right places. He sang while he worked. When he finished, he was so delighted that a  49 smile spread over his face. “What do you think of that?” he asked.

I answered him with a hug.

But inside, ___ 50 ___  danced all the way to my heart. It was the first time that my father devoted so much ___ 51  ___ to me, for his world consisted of work only.

The holiday party arrived, and my classmates put cards, and presents into the valentine boxes. Laughter filled our classroom until dismissal time  52_____m

On the way home, I held out my valentine box for the world to  __53 __. The love that filled it meant more to me than all the valentines inside.

The valentine box became a symbol of his love that  __54__  through decades of other Valentine’s Days. He gave me other gifts through the years, but none  __ 55 __ compared with the love I felt within the limits of the old, empty shoebox. w_w w. k#s5_
