阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

In our kitchen, there was a wooden table and three chairs - one for Pa, one for Ma, and one for me. I tried not to look at Pa’s empty place. Pa had gone to the city to look for work. He had been gone for a long time.

Every night, lying awake in bed, I waited for the train to stop, waited for the sound of his work boots dropping on the step, and waited for his voice calling, “I’m home!”

Every night, as I lay there, I stared at the window and the curtains Ma made from empty flour sacks (面粉袋). Sometimes the train stopped - for someone else’s Pa coming home. Not mine, not yet.

Every night, Ma came to kiss me good-night - after the train had gone by. She had been listening, too. “Go to sleep. Your Pa’ll be home soon. Maybe for Thanksgiving.”

How could I be thankful without my Pa?

I went to sleep with the sound of train wheels in my head, whispering, “Maybe tomorrow, maybe tomorrow.”

One morning, the smell of coffee woke me. I ran into the kitchen. There he was! Pa lifted me onto his shoulders. “How’s my boy? You’ve gotten so big that I can barely lift you up anymore.”

He put me down, and I stared at the two sacks on the table. One said FLOUR. I tried reading the other: S-U-G-A-R. Pa whistled admiringly and winked (眨眼) at me. Ma didn’t say no when Pa sprinkled (撒) a bit of that precious white sugar on my bread.

Ma said, “I’m going to bake a pie for your Pa’s homecoming dinner. Go downstairs, Jimmy, and bring me that jar of apples.” She smiled at me with a “mind now” look.

There was no need. I knew how to be careful. It was the last jar - the one we had been saving and saving to welcome Pa home. “When Pa comes home, there’ll be apple pie.” I could hardly remember what pies tasted like.
