When I was, about 12 years old, I really wanted a new bike! I my parents my birthday wish, but I knew there was little hope because my family could have that money.
On my birthday my parents told me they had my outside in the backyard. At once, I out to the yard. There was my bike, it wasn't the bike that I thought it would be. This one was pink, old and worn with age. It was so ! I thought I my parents' feelings because I could see the disappointment their faces and I was sure they could see it on mine. I the old bike and rode it, feeling that I had made my parents feel this way. So I put on a smile, rode as fast as I could and didn't .
As time went by, I began to understand that my parents gave me much more than
just a rusty（生锈的）old bike. They gave me a life lesson about . When you give something out of love, it doesn't matter what it is in fact. What matters is the love that is in it. I like to remember this because giving a gift is not about money. It's about how much love you can feel from it. Do rememer, a gift that two dollars isn't any less valuble（有价值的）than one that costs one hundred dollars, or even more.
