Catherine invited Nelson to dinner. Last term she had been a student in Nelson’s grammar class, but she had to drop the class because her son Kendall was h
aving a problem in school. The problem was that he wasn’t studying. Catherine decided to spend more time watching him.

rd to every day. He planned to teach until he dropped dead in the classroom.
Nelson needed to take a little gift to Catherine to show his t
hanks for the invitation. He couldn’t think of what would be good. Opening his kitchen cabinet, he found the perfect gift—an unopened box of tea. In a kitchen drawer, he found some fresh-looking wrapping paper. He wrapped the box of tea up well. Feeling proud of himself, he drove over to Catherine’s and rang the doorbell.
He gave his gift. Catherine made a funny face. She said she loved the wrapping paper. Then she unwrapped the tea and made another funny face. “Nelson, I gave this tea to you at the end of last term, and I wrapped it in this paper!”
Nelson’s face turned red. He told himself he had to be more careful with gifts in the future. He said sorry to Catherine. She smiled and said, “It’s okay. It’s the thought that counts（有价值）. ”
