Jim slumped (重重地坐下) on the couch. Mother's Day was coming up, but he didn't have apresent. "How can I buy a present without any money?" he thought.
Jim picked up thenewspaperthat was lying on the couch. He noticed a large advertisement on the front page. The local department store was sponsoring a contest (比赛). "Tell us why your mom is special and win ashopping spree(疯狂购物) for her," said the advertisement.
"This is perfect!" thought Jim. He ran to his room with the newspaper. Taking a pencil and a blank piece of paper from his desk, he started to write.
"My mom isthe best motherin the world. She always makes lunch for me to take to school, and she never forgets my dessert. She reads as many books to me before bed as I want. She always remembers to check under the bed for monsters. And she gives me the besthug, but never in front of my friends, who would laugh at me for hugging my mom."
Jim liked what he had written. He copied it neatly and gotan envelopeand a stamp from his bed. He ran to the mailbox with hisentry(参赛作品) ."Mom will love having a shopping spree," he thought.
Jim checked the mailbox every day forhis prize. Days went by, and then weeks. Soon it was the day before Mother's Day. Jim still hadn't heard anything about the contest.
"What am I going to do now?" he wondered. He didn't have a present, and he didn't have a shopping spree. And he still didn't have money.
He had to think of something. Jim closed his eyes and curled his toes and thought hard.
