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 hardly have that money.
On my birthday my parents told me they had my outside in the back yard. At once I rushed 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 disappointing! 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 bad that I had made my parents feel this way. So I put on a smile, rode as fast as I could and didn’t ....
