Even though it was only October, my students were already whispering about Christmas plans. With each passing day, everyone became more　 26　 , waiting for the final school bell. Upon its　 27　 , everyone would run for their coats and go home, everyone except David.

　　　 David was a small boy in ragged clothes. I had often wondered what kind of home life David had, and what kind of mother could send her son to school dressed so inappropriately for the cold winter months, without a coat, boots, or gloves. But something made David　 28　 . I can still remember he was always　 29　 a smile and willing to help. He always　 30　 after school to straighten chairs and mop the floor. We never talked much. He　 31　 just simply smile and ask what else he could do, then thank me for letting him stay and slowly head for home.

　 Weeks passed and the　 32　 over the coming Christmas grew into restlessness until the last day of　 33　 before the holiday break. I smiled in relief (欣慰) as the last of them hurried out the door. Turning around, I saw David　 34　 standing by my desk.

“I have something for you,” he said and　 35　 from behind his back a small box.　 36　 it to me, he said anxiously, “Open it.” I took the box from him, thanked him and slowly unwrapped (打开) it. I lifted the lid and to my　 37　 I saw nothing. I looked at David’s smiling face and back into the box and said, “The box is nice, David, but it’s empty.”

“Oh, no, it isn’t,” said David. “It’s full of love. My mum told me before she died that love was something you couldn’t see or touch unless you know it’s there.”

Tears filled my eyes　 38　 I looked at the proud dirty face that I had rarely given　 39 to. After that Christmas, David and I became good friends and I never forgot the meaning　 40　 the little empty box set on my desk.
