It was a lovely day. Jimmy woke up and looked at the clock. 11:30? He jumped out of the bed and threw on clothes. He had wanted to get up early and surprise his dad with Father's Day breakfast in bed—with his mom's help of course. He took up the wrapped present on his desk and went to find his1 .
"Where is Dad?" Jimmy checked all the rooms, but the whole house was empty. He walked out to the 2 , and found Dad was holding a hammer and looking at a new tree fort that stood in 3 big back yard.
Jimmy climbed the rope ladder up to the fort. It had two rooms with three small windows. Dad followed Jimmy into the fort, looking excited. "It took me the whole morning to 4 it. I had one when I was your age. Grandpa surprised me with it on5 too."
"So, it's like an instructive(教育性的)activity?" Jimmy asked.
"Yes, this is a present for 6 of us. Maybe you'll build one for your son one day."
Dad looked around and asked Jimmy 7 they would do first in the tree fort. Jimmy slowly showed the 8 and said, "Happy Father's Day!" He didn't think it was possible,9 Dad's smile widened as he opened the gift. "A chess set! How did you know I wanted10 ?" Jimmy always saw his dad playing against the computer and he guessed it 11 be his father's favorite.
"Let's play it!" Dad set up the chessboard. "It's the12 gift that I have got of all this Father's Day."
"I'm glad you like it," Jimmy said.
"I do, but I was talking about spending more time with you. I 13 loved the father-son time. I spent a lot of time with your grandfather when I was 14 ."
Jimmy looked at his dad. "Do you think Grandpa would like us 15 him to come to the fort?"
Dad squeezed(紧握)Jimmy's shoulder. "I think he'd love that."
That day, the three men played, talked and laughed. It was really a happy Father's Day.
