Before Father's Day, I found my father was unhappy because he was out of work. I decided to make him
A
by buying him a special Father's Day present.
One day after school I rode to the Agins which was
C
for fashion and styles. I told the shopkeeper that I was looking
B
a Father's Day present.
"Do you think he'd like a
A
?" she asked. "I think he might," I told her. She took out a watch and I told her that he would like it.
"How
B
money do you have?" she asked. "
B
dollars," I replied.
"You're so
A
!" she told me. "It's only 11. You
C
have 1 for the
A
." She packed(包装) the watch and I thanked her, and I rode home with the gift under my arm.
When my father opened the gift, he was
B
and asked, "Where did you get it?" "I bought it at the Agins. It cost me 11," I said. My father was shocked(震惊的) and didn't say anything.
Many years
D
, I learned that the watch was worth(价值) several hundred dollars,
D
I appreciated(感激) how wonderful the Agins was to me. I always felt
A
that I never had a chance to thank the shopkeeper. My father said, "Letting you
C
the watch for 11 dollars was unbelievable(难以置信的) enough. But what really amazes me to this day, my daughter, is the fact that she let you leave the store with a dollar for the card. It was a touch of kindness. I'll never
B
it."
