Until last year, the saddest thing of my life was that my wife Alice and I couldn’ t have any children. So we always      all the children in our street to our house for Christmas breakfast.
Last year, Alice died. I was very      and decided not to invite the children for Christmas breakfast. But Kathy and Peter, my next door neighbors,  asked me to     them for dinner on Christmas Eve.
As soon as I arrived, Kathy asked me, “Do you have any milk at your house?”
“Yes,” I replied. “    you need some, I’ll go and get it right away.”
“Oh, that’s all right. Come and sit down. Just give Peter your     and let him do it.”
After a happy dinner with them, I went home. When I opened my door, I found my house had been decorated by Peter! It was  just as        as each Christmas before. At that moment, I wished that I could still         the Christmas breakfast, but I had made no preparations.
Early the next morning, a little boy with a bag of candies         my bell. Before I could ask him what was        , he was joining by two of his friends. Within fifteen minutes, my house was full of        , and I had all the food I needed. I had a happy breakfast with the children again.
