Dad lost his job after arguing(争吵) with the boss, and when Christmas came that year, we had no money at all. On Christmas Eve, Dad took me out into the park. I had a blanket(毛毯) wrapped(卷绕) around me, so I offered to share with Dad, but he said no thanks. We looked at the sky.

I my head, looked at the stars, and tried to figure out(断定) which was the best one. Then, I found one.
