When I was about 12 years old, I really wanted a new bike!(1) , but I knew there was little hope because my family could hardly afford it.
On my birthday my parents told me they had my gift outside in the back yard. At once I rushed out to the yard. There was my bike, but it wasn't the bike that I thought it would be. This one was pink, old and worn with age. It was so disappointing! I thought I hurt my parents' feelings because I was sure they could see the disappointment on my face.(2) , riding as fast as I could and didn't look back.
As time went by, I began to understand that my parents gave me something much more than just a rusty (生锈的) old bike.(3) . When you give something out of love, it doesn't matter what it is. What matters is the love that is in it.
I like to remember this story because giving a gift is not about money.(4). . Remember this: a gift that costs 2 isn't any less valuable than one that costs 100.
