On the last day of school before Christmas holiday break, I saw David    (quiet) standing by my desk.“I have something for you.” he said and (pull )from behind his back a small box.

I looked at David’s smiling face and said, “The box is nice, David,     it’s empty.”“Oh no, it isn’t.” said David. “It’s full of love.

Tears filled my eyes as I looked at the proud dirty face that I       (rarely give) attention to. After that Christmas, David and I became good friends and I never forgot     meaning behind the little empty box set on my desk.
