Question

When I was, about 12 years old, I really wanted a new bike! I        my parents my birthday wish, but I knew there was little hope because my family could        have that money.

On my birthday my parents told me they had my      outside in the backyard. At once, I     out to the yard. There was my bike,       it wasn't the bike that I thought it would be. This one was pink, old and worn with age. It was so      ! I thought I      my parents' feelings because I could see the disappointment     their faces and I was sure they could see it on mine. I      the old bike and rode it, feeling      that I had made my parents feel this way. So I put on a smile, rode as fast as I could and didn't        .

As time went by, I began to understand that my parents gave me      much more than

just a rusty（生锈的）old bike. They gave me a life lesson about        . When you give something out of love, it doesn't matter what it is in fact. What matters is the love that is in it. I like to remember this     because giving a gift is not about money. It's about how much love you can feel from it. Do rememer, a gift that        two dollars isn't any less valuble（有价值的）than one that costs one hundred dollars, or even more.
