Bobby was sitting out in his back yard in the snow. The thin shoes he wore had a few holes in them and they did a job of keeping out the cold. Try as he might， he could not come up with an idea for his mother’s Christmas gift.
Ever since his father had passed away three years ago， his mother worked nights at the hospital， but the small money she made could be enough for their needs.
Although the family was short of money， they made up for in love and family unity instead. The children the household (家庭) when their mother was away. All three of Bobby’s sisters had already made beautiful gifts for their mother.
It was Christmas Eve already， and he had nothing. Bobby started to walk down to the street. He walked from shop to shop. Everything seemed so beautiful and so out of . Suddenly he found something shinning on the ground. He reached down and a shiny dime (一角币). Never before has anyone felt so as Bobby did at that moment. He held his new found treasure and went inside a flower shop， but his excitement quickly turned cold when he saw the of flowers.
When the owner asked if he could help him， Bobby the dime and asked if he could buy one flower for his mother as a Christmas gift. The shop owner looked at Bobby and his ten cent ， and said， “You just wait here and I’ll see what I can do for you.”
The shop owner returned holding 12 red roses. “That will be ten cents， young man，” he said.
Bobby’s heart beat fast. Slowly， he moved his hand to give the man his dime and for his home.
Then the shopkeeper’s wife appeared. “Where are the roses you were fixing?”
The shop owner replied， “While I was setting up things to open the shop， I thought I heard a voice telling me to set aside a dozen of my best roses for a special gift. When I saw that little boy tonight， I knew who that voice was.”

My husband and l were talking about possible colours because it was time for painting the kitchen again. The children, sat nearby and suddenly shouted, "Not the measuring（测量）stick!”
The measuring stick isn't a real stick but the kitchen side of the door between our kitchen and the dining room. Along the edge we have each child's growth by making a mark showing his or her on every birthday. Over the ten years so many pens, pencils and markers were used that the door came to be like a painting.
Names and dates different hand-writing, and I can by the script(手迹)who measured whom. An eight-year-old brother measured his three-year-old sister, a grandchild measured her grandmother, my husband measured me. At parties, when this door swings, friends stop to the names and dates. When we ask if they would like to leave their marks, they usually had a smile.
Many of these listed on the door are still While some have stopped. Some is still with us only in memory. When my mother came to see our eldest daughter graduating from university, we measured her, too. It was her last visit to our home.
We haven't decided on the new kitchen colour plan yet, but one thing is :Whether we paint the trim curry gold, Chowning's Tavern red or Federal blue, the back of the kitchen door will be always with lots of names and dates in different colors.
