A Special Christmas Present 一份特殊的礼物 David wanted to buy a Christmas present for a very special person, his mother. David’s father gave him $5.00 as pocket money each week and David put $2.00 into his bank account. Three months later David Drew $20.00 out of his bank account and went to the shopping mall. He looked about for a perfect gift. Suddenly he saw a beautiful brooch in the shape of his favorite pet. He said to himself, “Mother loves jewelry, and the brooch costs only $17.00. He bought the brooch and took it home. He wrapped the present in beautiful paper and put it under the Christmas tree. He was very excited because he was looking forward to Christmas Day to see joy on his mother’s face. But when his mother opened the present, she screamed with fright because she saw a “spider”.

Father’s Day 父亲节 旅游车上的乘客
Mrs. Reed said to her daughter Susan, “Don’t forget, Susan, tomorrow’s father’s Day. “Oh, my goodness,” said Susan, “I don’t have a gift for Dad. What should I do?” “I don’t know,” said Mrs. Reed, “that’s always a problem. Why not go to the shopping mall and try to find something?” Susan hurried to the shopping center and went into a menswear store. She had $3.00. She said to herself, “I should get for him something to wear. No, he needs something to use.” “Can I help you?” the shop assistant asked. “Yes, please. I want a gift for my father, but I don’t know what to get.” “How about a nice shirt?” asked the shop assistant. “No, I only have $3.00,” said Susan. Then she saw a beautiful red-and-white tie. But it looked very expensive. “That’s about $10.00,”she said to herself. “How much is this red-and-white tie?” she asked. The shop assistant looked at her, and then looked at the tie. He took off the price tag and said, “That’s exactly $3.00.” “Oh, fine,” said Susan, “this is a perfect gift.”
