問題詳情:
I was a single parent of four small children, working at a low-paid job. Money was always tight(緊張的), but we had a 21 over our heads, food on the table, clothes on our backs, and if not a lot, always 22 . Not knowing we were poor, my kids just thought I was 23 . I’ve always been glad about that.
It was Christmas time, and although there wasn’t 24 for a lot of gifts, we planned to celebrate with a family party. But the big 25 for the kids was the fun of Christmas 26 .
They planned weeks ahead of time, asking 27 what they wanted for Christmas. Fortunately, I had saved $120 for 28 to share by all five of us.
The big 29 arrived. I gave each kid a twenty-dollar bill and 30 them to look for gifts of about four dollars each. Then everyone scattered(散開). We had two hours to shop; then we would 31 back at the “Santa’s Workshop”.
Driving home, everyone was in high Christmas spirits, 32 my younger daughter, Ginger, who was unusually 33 . She had only one small, flat bag with a few candies — fifty-cent candies! I was so angry, but I didn’t say anything 34 we got home. I called her into my bedroom and closed the door, 35 to be angry again. This is what she told me.
“I was looking 36 thinking of what to buy, and I 37 to read the little cards on the ‘Giving Trees.’ One was for a little girl, four years old, and all she 38 for Christmas was a doll(玩具娃娃). So I took the card off the tree and 39 the doll for her. We have so much and she doesn’t have anything.”
I never felt so 40 as I did that day.
