Question

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 60^th 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.
