  Bobby was getting cold.Try as he might, he could not come up with an idea for his mother’s Christmas gift.“This is useless, even if I do have an idea, I don’t have money to spend.”

  Since his father had passed away, the family had struggled.But what the family lacked in money and material things, they made up for in love.

  Wiping a tear from his eye, Bobby started to walk from shop to shop, looking into each decorated window.Everything seemed so beautiful and so out of reach.

  It was starting to get dark when he suddenly discovered a dime(十分錢)lying on the ground.Never before had anyone felt so wealthy as Bobby felt at that moment.

  He walked into the first store but his excitement quickly turned cold when he was told nothing could be bought with only a dime.He then went into a flower shop.Hearing Bobby’s words and looking at the dime, the shop owner said, “You just wait here and I’ll see what I can do for you.”

  Bobby waited until the last customer left.The shop owner moved to the counter saying “I happened to have some roses on sale for ten cents a dozen.Would you like them, young man?” Could this be true? When the man placed roses into his hands, he knew it was true.Walking out gratefully, Bobby heard the shop keeper say, “Merry Christmas, son.”

  Staring out of the window, tears in eyes, the shop keeper explained to his wife, “A strange thing happened to me this morning.While I was to open the shop, I heard a voice telling me to set aside a dozen of my best roses for a special gift.I wasn’t sure at the time whether I had lost my mind or what, but I set them aside anyway.Then when the little boy came in, I saw myself many years ago who was a poor boy with nothing to buy mother a Christmas gift.A man I never knew stopped me on the street and gave me ten dollars.Then I knew who that voice was.

  The shop owner and his wife hugged each other tightly, and as they stepped out into the bitter cold air, they somehow didn’t feel cold at all.

She wanted to switch the oven off at 7: 30 but she was practicing the cello, and it wasn't until 8 o'clock that she suddenly realized: she had forgotten her TV dinner !

    On Tuesday she offered to clean up the apartment for her parents. After she had vacuumed the carpets, she threw away a pile of old newspapers and computer magazines. The next day, dad asked where they were. He wanted to cut our an article he had seen in one of the computer magazines, and he was furious when he found out that Sarah had thrown them away. On Wednesday she took Foxy for a walk in the park and lost him. She looked for him everywhere, but he had disappeared. The stupid dog came back later, but that was after Mrs Rosenbaum had telephoned nearly everybody in the neighborhood.

  

    Thursday went all right until the evening. Sarah put the dirty things in the dish-washer and switched it on, but when she emptied it later, two of the glasses she had put in were broken. Her mom wasn't very pleased because she always washed the good glasses by hand.

  

    Now it was Friday, and Sarah wanted to go the hamburger drive-in with Nacy, Bob and Mike that evening. But she had already spent her pocket money. In fact, she had spent it on Monday, just after mom had given it to her. “Shall I ask dad for the money for tonight?” She wondered. “After all the stupid things I did this week. ”
