"Where is Bob?" asked Dad. "In his room." Anna answered. She was trying to decide on the birthday gift for Dad. This year, she wanted something that couldn't{#blank#}1{#/blank#} (buy) at a store. Then she heard Bob calling her. "Just a second," she{#blank#}2{#/blank#} (reply), walking towards her brother's room. "Look!" Bob sounded close to tears (眼泪). "Toy dragon." Bob{#blank#}3{#/blank#} (real) wanted a toy dragon in the cereal (麦片) box, so he was a bit sad at finding nothing.

"Let's see what the box says, "Anna suggested. "I can't read." "You can't because you don't know how to read," she said carefully. Last year, Dad made a decision.to teach him to read, but {#blank#}4{#/blank#} result was terrible. They both gave up. Anna finished {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (read) the box. "No promise of a toy dragon," she said. "I wish you could read. So does Dad, she added. The conversation swept away Anna's worry {#blank#}6{#/blank#} a gift for Dad. "Maybe we can prepare it together." she thought.

"You're the teller. If you can't do it, I will." "No! I want to tell{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (many) than today." Bob shouted. "So…that night I. "Each day, Bob told more of his dragon stary.
