Dear Laura,

I just heard you tell an old story of gift giving and unselfish love in your program．You doubted that such unselfish love would happen in today’s．Well, I’m here to give you 1 ．

I wanted to do something very 2 for my fifteen-year-old son, who has always been the perfect child．He 3 all summer to earn enough money to buy a used motorcycle．Then, he spent hours and hours on it 4 it looked almost new．I was so 5 of him that I bought him the shiniest helmet（頭盔） and riding outfit（全套裝備）．

I could 6 wait for him to open up his gift．In fact, I barely slept the night before．Upon wakening, I went to the kitchen to 7 the coffee, tea, and morning goodies．In the living room was a beautiful keyboard with a 8 : “To my wonderful mother, all my love, your son．”

I was so 9 ．It had been a long-standing joke in our family that I wanted a piano so that I could 10 lessons．“Learn to play the piano, and I’ll get you one” was my husband’s 11 ．

I stood there shocked, crying a river, asking myself how my son could 12 this expensive gift．Of course, the 13 awoke, and my son was thrilled with my reaction．Many kisses were 14 , and I immediately wanted him to 15 my gift．

As he saw the helmet and outfit, the look on his face was not 16 what I was expecting．Then I 17 that he had sold the motorcycle to get me the keyboard．

Of course I was the proudest mother 18 on that day, and my feet never hit the ground for a month．

So I wanted you to know, that kind of love still 19 and lives even in the ever-changing world of me, me, me!

I thought you’d love to 20 this story．

Yours,

Hilary

P．S．The next day, my husband and I bought him a new “used” already shiny motorcycle．
