Before Father's Day, I found my father was unhappy because he was out of work. I decided to cheer him up by buying him a special Father's Day gift.
One day after school I1to the Agins which was known for fashions and styles. I told Agins that I was looking for a Father's Day present.
“ Do you think he'd like a2?”she asked. “I think he might.”I told her.
She 3a Swiss watch and I told her that would like it.
“ How much money do you have?”she asked.
“ 4dollars.” I replied.
“You're so lucky!”she told me. “It's only $11. You still have $1 for the5 . “ She packed the watch and I thanked for my business, and I rode off home with the gift under my arm.
When my father opened the gift, he asked6. “Where did you get it?”
“I boughtit at the Agins.I cost me $11.” I said. My father was shocked into silence.
Many years later, I did learn that the watch was worth several hundred dollars,7I appreciated(赞赏) how wonderful Agins had been to me. I always felt8that I never had chance to thank her.
“What really amazes meto this day…my daughter.”My father said, “Letting you have the watch for 11 dollars was9 enough. But the fact that she let you leave the store with a dollar for the card was a touch(触动) of10. I'll never forget it.”
