Grandma made a sweater for Dad as his birthday present. It was PURPLE. Not just any purple, it was flow (发光)-in-the-dark purple! Dad 1 it. He wore the sweater all the time: when he walked the dog, when he and Mom went out for a dinner and 2 of all, when he came to my school, which really made me embarrassed (尴尬的).
One day, Dad ripped (撕) a part of the sweater carelessly. “Well, Dad, it has got a 3 now, so you can't wear the sweater any more,” I said.
“I'll just wear it around the house,” he said. And he did. Every night. Weekend too. The hole got 4. One night, when we were enjoying the dinner, the thread fell into his bowl.
“Look out, Dad!” I shouted. “You're about to 5 your sweater.” Dad laughed, “This sweater is no longer of any use.” But when he was about to throw (扔) away the sweater, he was unhappy.
It made me lost in thought. I thought about the day he 6 ate it, and that gave me a(n) 7 for the coming DIY show at school.
“Wait, Dad! May I have it?” I asked. “ 8 do you want to keep it?” “You'll see.”
I broke the sweater into thread. I added green tennis balls 9 they look like meatballs in size. Then I cut some colourful paper into pieces as salad. Finally, I put everything into a bowl with a sign: Spaghetti (意大利面) and Meatballs with Salad.
Mom and Dad came to the show and were very happy to find that my “dish” won the first prize. “It's the perfect 10 for my sweater,” said Dad happily.
