When I was about 12 years old, I really wanted a new bike! I _______ my parents my birthday wish, but I knew there was little hope because my family could _______ have that money.
On my birthday, my parents told me they had my _______ outside in the backyard. At once I _______ out to the yard. There was my bike, _______ it wasn’t the bike that I thought it would be. This one was pink, old and worn with age. It was so _______! I thought I _______ my parents’ feelings because I could see the disappointment _______ their faces and I was sure they could see it on mine. I _______ the old bike and rode it, feeling ________ that I had made my parents feel this way. So I put on a smile, rode as fast as I ________ and didn’t look back.
As time went by, I began to understand my parents gave me ________ much more than just an old bike. They gave me a life lesson about ________. When you give something out of love, it doesn’t matter what it is in fact. What matters is love that is in it. I like to remember this ________ because giving a gift is not about money. It’s about how much love you can feel from it. Do remember, a gift that ________ two dollars isn’t any less valuable than the one that is worth one hundred dollars or even more.
