Amy was looking for a gift for her little daughter. Suddenly she before a store of dolls. “Girls like dolls,” she thought as she stepped into it.

Looking around, she saw a doll – one with grey hair and a pair of glasses. In her mind appeared Joyce, her mother.

When Amy was a little girl, she got her first doll from Joyce for her birthday. Then the second, third … A doll a year from Joyce never arrived .

“Why always a doll?” This had been in Amy’s mind until one day she knew the answer.

Little Joyce dreamed to have a doll. Her parents promised one for her birthday. Sadly, they both in a traffic accident before it arrived. The never-received gift was the most thing in her eyes.

Joyce’s story being recalled, Amy got an idea.

It was Joyce’s 60th birthday. A parcel was sent to her, with a that read,

Dear Joyce,

I forget to you the parcel that you should have received on May 20, 1956, your fifth birthday. The gift inside has aged, but I felt that you might still wish to have it.

Love, Angel of Joy

Joyce opened the parcel and saw a lovely grandma doll. She held the doll tightly that she had waited so many years for, with tears running down her face. The doll, given by “Angel of Joy”, made her the “child” in the world.

John is thirteen now. He began to study in a middle school two years ago. His home is in a village and it’s nearly five kilometers from the school. He has to get up early in the morning. After a quick breakfast he runs to school and gets there on time. His father hopes to borrow some money to buy a bike for him. But he knows his mother is always ill and his father spends much money on medicine. He doesn’t agree with his father and keeps running there every day. He is never late for class and his teachers often praise him.

Last week there was a sports meeting in his school. John ran faster than any other boy in the boys’ 800 meters, 1,500 meters and 3,000 meters. The whole school knew him. He was happy. He told his grandma about the good news as soon as he got home.

“I broke two school records today, Granny,” called out the boy.

To his surprise, the old woman wasn’t happy. She thought for a while and said,“I’m sorry to hear that. We have no money to pay for them, you know!”
