Dear Laura,
I just heard you tell an old story of gift giving and unselfish love in your program. You don’t know whether it is true that such unselfish love would happen in today’s world. Well, I’m here to give you
36 .
I wanted to do something very
37 for my fifteen-year-old son, who has always been the perfect child. He worked all summer to earn enough money to buy a used motorcycle. Then, he spent hours and hours on it
38 it looked almost new. I was so proud of him that I bought him the shiniest helmet(头盔)and a riding outfit(全套装备）.
I could
39 wait for him to open up his gift. In fact, I couldn’t sleep the night before. Upon awakening, I went to the kitchen to
40 the coffee, tea, and morning dishes. In the living room was a beautiful keyboard with a
41 :” To my wonderful mother, all my love, your son.”
I was so surprised. It had been a long-standing joke in our family that I wanted a piano so that I could
42 lessons. “Learn to play the piano, and I’ll get you one” was my husband’s
promise.
I stood there shocked(震惊的), crying a river, asking myself how my son could
43 this expensive gift.
Of course, the house awoke, and my son was very pleased with my reaction（反应）. Many kisses were exchanged, and I immediately wanted him to
44 my gift.
As he saw the helmet and outfit, the look on his face was not exactly what I was expecting. Then I
45 that he had sold the motorcycle to get me the keyboard.
Of course I was the proudest mother ever on that day, and my feet never hit the ground for a month.
So I wanted you to know, that kind of love is
46 present and lives even in the ever-changing world of me, me, me!
I thought you’d love to
47 this story.
Yours,
Hilary
