Mary’s dime（一毛钱）

It was Sunday afternoon. I decided to clean up the room nicely so that my parents would feel   1  when they returned from a long ride! Then, I sat in the room, having nothing to do.

　　 What else could I do? Then, with no reason, I suddenly  2  the pale face of that little beggar(乞丐) girl. I could see the glad light   3  her eyes when I put the dime in her little dirty hand.

　　  How much I  4  that dime, too! Grandpa gave it to me a whole month ago, and I had kept it ever since in my red box upstairs, but those sugar apples looked so attractive, and were so   5  — only a dime a piece — that I wanted to have one.

　　  I could imagine the little girl stood there in front of the  6  in her old dirty dress, looking at the   7  that were put all in a row in the window. I wonder what I should say, “Little girl, what do you want?” I gently asked. She felt   8  and looked straight at me, just as if（似乎）nobody had spoken so   9  to her before. She realized what I had meant, so she said seriously and sadly. “I was thinking how good one of those delicious hamburgers would  10 . I haven’t had anything to eat today.”

　　 Now I thought to myself, “Mary Williams, you have had a good breakfast and a good lunch today,   11  this poor girl has not had a mouthful yet. You can give her your  12 . She needs it a great deal more than you do.”

　　 I could not run away from that little girl’s sad,  13  look — so I dropped the dime right into her hand. How  14  the girl was! I am so glad I gave her the dime,  15  I had to go without the apple lying there in the window.

Ａs she walked round the large shop, Edith realized how difficult it was to choose a suitable Christmas   41   for her father.

She wished that he were as easy to please as her mother, who was   42   satisfied with perfume(香水). Besides shopping at this time of the year was a most unhappy job. People   43 

on your feet, pushed you with their shoulders and almost   44   you over in their hurry in order to   45   something cheap ahead of you.

Party to have a rest, Edith stopped in front of a counter, where some beautiful ties were on   46  . “They are real silk,” the shop assistant told her with a smile trying to persuade(说服) her to buy   47  . But Edith knew from past   48   that her choice of ties hardly ever pleased her father.

She moved on slowly and then, quite by chance,   49   where a small crowd of men had gathered round a counter, She found some fine pipes(烟斗) on sale and the   50   were very beautiful. Edith did not hesitate for long, although her father only smoked a pipe once a while, she believed this was   51   to please him.

When she got home, with her small but   52   present hidden in her handbag, it was time for supper and her parents were already   53   table. Her mother was in great   54  . “Smoking is bad for your health, my dear. You father has at last   55   to stop smoking.” She told her daughter happily. Edith was so surprised that she could not say a single word.
