       I was a single parent of four small children, working at a low-paid job. Money was always tight（紧张的）, But we had a   21   over our heads, food on the table, clothes on our backs, and if not a lot, always   22  . Not knowing we were poor, my kids just thought I was   23  . I’ve always been glad about that.

       It was Christmas time, and although there wasn’t   24   for a lot of gifts, we planned to celebrate with a family party. But the big   25   for the kids was the fun of Christmas   26  .

They planned weeks ahead of time, asking   27   what they wanted for Christmas. Fortunately, I had saved $120 for   28   to share by all five of us.

The big   29   arrived. I gave each kid a twenty-dollar bill and   30   them to look for gifts of about four dollars each. Then everyone scattered(散开). We had two hours to shop; then we would   31   back at the “Santa’s Workshop”.

Driving home, everyone was in high Christmas spirits,   32   my younger daughter, Ginger, who was unusually   33  . She had only one small, flat bag with a few candies　— fifty-cent candies! I was so angry, but I didn’t say anything   34   we got home. I called her into my bedroom and closed the door,  35   to be angry again. This is what she told me.

       “I was looking   36   thinking of what to buy, and I   37   to read the little cards on the ‘Giving Trees.’ One was for a little girl, four years old, and all she   38   for Christmas was a doll(玩具娃娃). So I took the card off the tree and   39   the doll for her. We have so much and she doesn’t have anything.”

       I never felt so   40   as I did that day.
