    When I was about 12 years old, I really wanted a new bike! I 1my parents my birthday wish, but I knew there was little hope because my family could 2have that money.

    On my birthday my parents told me they had my3outside in the back yard. At once I 4out to the yard. There was my bike, 5it wasn't the bike that I thought it would be. This one was pink, old and worn with age. It was so6! I thought I7  my parents' feelings because I could see the disappointment8their faces and I was sure they could see it on mine. I 9the old bike and rode it, feeling 10that I had made my parents feel this way. So I put on a smile, rode as fast as I could and didn't 11 ...

As time went by, I began to understand my parents gave me12 much more than just a rusty（生锈的）old bike. They gave me a life lesson about 13 .When you give something out of love, it doesn't matter what it is in fact. What matters is the love that is in it. I like to remember this 14because giving a gift is not about money. It's about how much love you can feel from it. Do remember, a gift that 15two dollars isn't any less valuable（有价值的）than one that costs one hundred dollars, or even more.

    Last weekend, the four members of my family spent an excellent holiday at the Magic Kingdom-Disneyland. And one thing made our visit seem1.

    We got to the front of the line at Space Mountain, only to find out that our little daughter Gloria couldn't take her2on the ride. It is our first time to be there, so we were too3to remember that ice-cream was not allowed on the ride.

    Gloria started4and we all didn't know what to do. Then Tony, one of the staff（员）members, came over. He bent（弯腰）down and told Gloria that he would   5the ice-cream for her and give it to her when she finished the ride. Gloria said, "Really?" Then she gave Tony her ice-cream, and enjoyed6on the ride.

    Sure enough, when we7, there was Gloria's new friend8her "ice-cream". Now you and I both know what happened, 9we know that an ice-cream won't last thirty10on a summer afternoon in Florida. Tony knew clearly11we would get off the ride. He went to the nearest shop and12a new ice-cream half a minute before we walked out of the exit（出口）. Gloria said, " 13" But I'm sure she didn't know it was a14ice-cream.

    Thanks so much for giving us15and make our visit pleasant!

When my dream was about to slip away, this wonderful man took me out one evening into a bar, bought me a bottle of beer, and offered to help me pay for my college education. He did it 12 asking for anything in return.

    A few years later, I asked him why he helped me. He said," 13 I knew you could be more than what you were, and because once, when I wasn't sure whether I could succeed and didn't have the money for school, 14 helped me."

    After hearing his words, I was shocked. I said, "Thank you, Joe! I will 15 the love to others!"
