Christmas was coming and my ten-year-old Alice told her father and me that she wanted a new bike. Her bike was too 1 , and it needed repairing as well.
As Christmas 2 , her dream for a bike seemed to disappear, we thought, for she didn't say it again. We were busy 3 some beautiful story books, a doll house, a holiday dress and toys. Then to our surprise, on December 24, she said she really wanted a bike more than 4 .
Now we didn't know 5 to do. It was just too late. We were busy with Christmas dinner and packing 6 presents, parents' presents, a brother's present and friends' presents till midnight. So there was 7 time to take to buy the "right hike" for our little girl. Thinking we were parents who would make their child unhappy, we felt sorry and 8 .
Suddenly my husband had an idea. "What about making a little bike with clay (黏土) and writing a note that she could trade in (交换) the model bike for a real one?" So he spent the next five hours carefully __9__ with clay to make a small bike.
10 Christmas morning, we were so excited for Alice to open the little box with the beautiful red and white clay bike and the note. She opened and read the 11 loudly. She looked at me and said, "So, does this mean I can trade in this bike for a real 12 _?" Smiling, I said, "Yes!" Alice had tears in her eyes when she replied, "I would 13 trade in this beautiful bike Daddy made me. I __14 _ keep it than get a real bike. This is the best Christmas present 15 I have ever got in my life!"
