Father's Day is coming. Our teacher tells us to ask our dads questions to know them more. I can't remember seeing my dad cry, 1 I ask him :"Do I make you cry before?"
"Yes, there's once,"he says.
He tells me that when I was one year old, he put a pen, a piece of paper money, and a toy 2 me. He wants to see which one I will choose. It's a tradition that a lot of Chinese people do on their kids' 3 birthdays. According to this tradition, it shows 4 the kids will value* most when they grow up. For example, if the kid takes the 5 , it means he or she will be an intelligent*person in the future. If the kid takes the money, it means he or she will value money more than others and will become rich. If the kid takes the toy, it means he or she will like fun things and 6 a lot.
My father is just doing it out of curiosity*. It is 7 for him to see which one I will choose anyway.
He says that I just sit there and look at the three things. He sits across from me and waits to see what will happen.
I move to him and push* 8 away. I go right into his arms and laugh 9 . He doesn't know that he is one of the choices.
And that is the first and only time I make him 10 .
