Love in a Box

Mother said, “We’ll see,” and she continued eating.

What did “We’ll see” mean? I had to have that box   33   my second grade Valentine’s Day would be a disaster. Maybe they didn’t love me   34   to help me with my assignment.

All Saturday I waited   35   and with Sunday arriving, my worry increased, but I   36   an enquiry(询问) about the box might   37   anger or loud voice, for in my house children only asked once. More than that   38   trouble.

Late Sunday afternoon, my father called me into the kitchen. The table was covered with colorful   39   of different kinds. A (n)   40   shoebox rested on top of it.   41   flooded through me when Daddy said, “Let’s get started   42   your assignment.”

In the next hour my father   43   the shoebox into impressive valentine box. Colorful paper covered the ugly cardboard with red hearts   44   to what I considered all the right places. He sang while he worked. When he finished, he was so delighted that a   45  smile spread over his face. “What do you think of that?” he asked.

I answered him with a hug.

But inside,   46   danced all the way to my heart. It was the first time that my father devoted so much   47   to me, for his world consisted of work only.

The holiday party arrived   48  , and my classmates put cards, and presents into the valentine boxes. Laughter filled our classroom until it was over.

On the way home, I held out my valentine box for the world to   49  . The love that filled it meant more to me than all the valentines inside.

The valentine box became a symbol of his love that   50   through years of other Valentine’s Days. He gave me other gifts through the years, but none   51   compared with the love I felt within the limits of the old, empty shoebox.
