Love in a Box
When I was a little girl, I found love in a box all because of a class assignment(a piece of work). On a Friday night I 32 at dinner table, “MY teacher said we have to bring a box, a special box, for our valentines (情人节) on Monday”.
Mother said, “We’ll see,” and she continued eating.
What did “We’ll see” mean? I had to have that box 33 my second grade Valentine’s Day would be a disaster. Maybe they didn’t love me 34 to help me with my assignment.
All Saturday I waited 35 and with Sunday arriving, my worry increased, but I 36 an enquiry(询问) about the box might 37 anger or loud voice, for in my house children only asked once. More than that 38 trouble.
Late Sunday afternoon, my father called me into the kitchen. The table was covered with colorful 39 of different kinds. A (n) 40 shoebox rested on top of it. 41 flooded through me when Daddy said, “Let’s get started 42 your assignment.”
In the next hour my father 43 the shoebox into impressive valentine box. Colorful paper covered the ugly cardboard with red hearts 44 to what I considered all the right places. He sang while he worked. When he finished, he was so delighted that a 45 smile spread over his face. “What do you think of that?” he asked.
I answered him with a hug.
But inside, 46 danced all the way to my heart. It was the first time that my father devoted so much 47 to me, for his world consisted of work only.
The holiday party arrived 48 , and my classmates put cards, and presents into the valentine boxes. Laughter filled our classroom until it was over.
On the way home, I held out my valentine box for the world to 49 . The love that filled it meant more to me than all the valentines inside.
The valentine box became a symbol of his love that 50 through years of other Valentine’s Days. He gave me other gifts through the years, but none 51 compared with the love I felt within the limits of the old, empty shoebox.
