Even though it was only October, my students were already whispering about Christmas plans. With each passing day everyone became more __36__, waiting for the final school bell. Upon its _37____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 __38__. I can still remember he was always wearing　 a smile and willing to help. He always __39__after school to straighten chairs and mop the floor. We never talked much. He__40__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 excitement over the coming Christmas grew into restlessness until the last day of school　 before the holiday break. I smiled in ___41__as the last of them hurried out the door. Turning around I saw David ___42___standing by my desk.

“I have something for you ”he said and pulled from behind his back a small box .__43__it to me, he said anxiously, “Open it ”I took the box from him ,thanked him and slowly unwrapped it. I lifted the lid and to my __44__saw nothing. I looked at David‘s smiling face add back into the box and said,“The box is nice ,David ,but it’s_45__”

“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.”
