Love in a Box
a valentine box
When I was a little girl, I found love in a box all because of a class assignment（作业）. On a Friday night I_________ at dinner table, "My teacher said we have to bring a box, a special box, for our valentines on Monday".
Mother said, "We'll see," and she continued eating.
What did "We'll see" mean? I had to have that box or my second grade Valentine's Day would be terrible. Maybe they didn't love me enough to help me with my_________.
All Saturday I waited_________ and with Sunday arriving, my worry
increased, but I knew an enquiry（询问）about the box might cause anger or loud voice, for in my house children only asked once. More than that_____________ trouble.
Late Sunday afternoon, my father called me into the kitchen. The table was covered with colorful paper of different kinds. A(n)_____________ shoebox rested on top of it. A heavy stone dropped when Daddy said, "Let's get started on your project."
In the next hour my father packed the shoebox into a surprising valentine box. Colorful paper covered the ugly cardboard with red hearts posted to what I considered all the right places. He sang while he worked. When he finished, he was so pleased that a broad smile spread over his face. "What do you think of that?" he asked.
I answered him with a hug.
But inside, joy danced all the way to my heart. It was the first time that my father devoted（倾注 ）so much___________ to me, for his world filled with work only.
The holiday party arrived, and my classmates put cards and presents into the valentine boxes. Laughter filled our classroom.
On the way home, I held out my valentine box for the world to___________. The love that filled it
meant more to me than all the valentines inside.
The valentine box became a symbol（ 象 征 ）of his love that___________ through several years of other Valentine's Days. He gave me other gifts through the years, but none ever compared with the old, empty shoebox.
