When I was about 12 years old, I really wanted a new bike! I
__36__ my parents my birthday wish, but I knew there was little hope because my family could
__37__ have that money.
On my birthday my parents told me they had my
__38__ outside in the back yard. At once I
__39__ out to the yard. There was my bike,
__40__ it wasn’t the bike that I thought it would be. This one was pink, old and worn with age. It was so
__41__! I thought I
__42__ my parents’ feelings because I could see the disappointment
__43__ their faces and I was sure they could see it on mine. I
__44__ the old bike and rode it, feeling
__45__ that I had made my parents feel this way. So I put on a smile, rode as fast as I could and didn’t
__46__...
As time went by, I began to understand my parents gave me
__47__ much more than just a rusty（生銹的）old bike. They gave me a life lesson about
__48__. 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
__49__ because giving a gift is not about money. It’s about how much love you can feel from it. Do remember, a gift that
__50__ two dollars isn’t any less valuable（有價值的）than one that costs one hundred dollars, or even more.
