How old was I? I can’t remember. Maybe I was only 10. It was the first   1   without my father because he was away for something. He left me to fill that sad place in my mother’s heart. It was the Christmas when I stopped being a    2   and tried to play Father Christmas myself. I really wanted to make it happy and bright again. It was the Christmas of the    3   .

Mom first saw the coat at Tobias, a nice    4  shop in our town’s little shopping mall. It was dark green. And it was a    5  , heavy, wool dress coat. Mom pulled it out from the rack(架) and held it up. “Long enough,” she said in a low voice and   6   it on.

“I need a new coat,” Mom smiled before the mirror. She looked good on any clothes,       7   this coat suited her much better. She looked at the    8  , then hung the coat back on the rack, standing there once more to   9   the soft brush of wool.

    Eighty-seven dollars. But I decided to buy it for her. As we moved on    10   the mall, I found some excuse to return and asked one of the Tobias ladies to   11   the coat.

I helped clean every yard in our neighbourhood—some yards twice, and soon I got enough money to buy the coat. The store ladies helped me put it in their biggest    12   with bright blue paper and thick silver ribbon(丝带). I don’t remember    13   I got it home, but I can still feel the    14   and pride that filled me. I would imagine the big space which the box would take up under our tree. Here it was—joy, peace and    15  —all in the box, waiting for Mom’s surprise.
