Yesterday was my stepmother’s birthday. I haven’t been home for a long time, so I wanted to stop by the house to
36 her on this special day. I have been
37 on a low income so I was afraid that I couldn’t afford the long
38 . Gas is so expensive nowadays!
39 , I filled my tank with gas and set off.
I
40 at a shopping mall and found a present. It was the
41 gift and I knew she would love it.
42 when I got to the cashier, my card was
43 !
I didn’t have enough money to
44 the gift!
So I thought about the
45 for a few minutes. I could put it back and get something
46 , but I knew there was
47 else in the store she would have liked as much. So, I transferred some money from my saving account and was able to buy the gift. It took a
48 part of my savings but I wanted her to have something special.
It turned out that she loved the gift and I
49 that even though I had spent almost all my money, my stepmother
50 the best. I was glad I gave her the best I could.
Before I
51 my parents’ house, my dad took me to one side and, with our secret handshake, he gave me some money. I hadn’t
52 anything to him about my financial
53 , but I guessed my dad just knew. When I got to the car, I saw the
54 he gave me was three times what I had spent on the gas and the gift! It shows that doing the right thing always comes with great
