Little Chad was a shy,   21   young man. One day he came home and told his mother that he’d like to make a Valentine for everyone in his class. Her heart sank.

For three weeks, night after night, Chad painstakingly made 35 valentines.

Valentine’s Day   28  , and Chad was   29   himself with excitement. He carefully put them in a bag and walked out of the door. His mother decided to bake him his favorite cookies and   30   them nice and warm with a cool glass of milk when he came home. She just knew he would be   31   and maybe that would ease(减轻) the pain a little. It hurt her to think that he wouldn’t get many valentines-maybe   32  at all.

That afternoon she had the cookies and milk on the table. When she heard the children outside, she looked out of the window. Sure enough,   33  they came, laughing and having the   34   time.
