A young man was about to finish school. For a long time he had   26  to get a beautiful sports car. He knew his father could well   27  it, so he  told him that a sports car was all he wanted.
Then on the morning of his graduation（毕业）,he was called to his father’s room. His father told him how   28  he was to have such a fine son, and told him how   29  he loved him. He handed his son a beautiful gift box.  30 , the young man opened the box and found a lovely Bible（圣经）with his name on it. Angrily, he raised his   31  to his father and said, “With all your money you give me a Bible? ” He then   32  out of the house, leaving the Bible.
Many years passed and the young man was very   33  in business, and had a beautiful home and a wonderful family.  34  that his father was very old, he thought perhaps he should go to see him. He had not seen him   35  that graduation day. Before he could go, he received a   36  telling him that his father had died. He had to go home immediately and take   37  of the things that his father left him.
When he began to search through his father’s important
papers, he saw the still new Bible,   38     as he had left
it years ago. He opened the Bible and began to      39 
the pages. As he was reading, a car key with a tag（标牌）
dropped from the back of the Bible. On the tag was the 
  40     of his graduation, and the words “PAID IN
FULL”. Sadness and regret（悔恨）filled his heart.

How old was I? I can’t remember. Maybe I was only 10. It was the first    16    without my father because he was away for something. He left me to fill that sad place in my mother’s heart.

Mom first saw the coat at Tobias, a nice    19    shop in our town’s little shopping mall. It was dark green. And it was a    20   , heavy, wool dress coat. Mom pulled it out from the rack(架) and held it up. “Long enough,” she said in a low voice and    21   .

“I need a new coat,” Mom smiled before the mirror. She looked good on any clothes,       22    this coat suited her much better. She looked at the    23   , then hung the coat back on the rack, standing there once more to    24    

    Eighty-seven dollars. But I decided to buy it for her. As we moved on    25   the mall, I found some excuse to return and asked one of the Tobias ladies to    26    the coat.

I helped clean every yard(庭院) in our neighbourhood—some yards twice, and soon I got the coat. The store ladies helped me put it in their biggest    27    with bright blue paper and thick silver ribbon(丝带). I don’t remember    28    I got it home, but I can still feel the wonderful    29    and pride that filled me. I would imagine the big space which the box would take up under our tree. Here it was—joy, peace and    30   —all in the box, waiting for Mom’s surprise.
