Yesterday was my stepmother’s birthday. I haven’t been home for a long time, so I wanted to stop by the house to 36 her on this special day. I have been 37
on a low ine so I was afraid that I couldn’t afford the long 38 . Gas is so expensive nowadays! 39 , I filled my tank with gas and set off.
I 40 at a shopping mall and found a present. It was the 41 gift and I knew she would love it. 42 when I got to the cashier, my card was 43 !
I didn’t have enough money to 44 the gift!
So I thought about the 45 for a few minutes. I could put it back and get something 46 , but I knew there was 47 else in the store she would have liked as much. So, I transferred some money from my saving account and was able to buy the gift. It took a 48 part of my savings but I wanted her to have something special.
It turned out that she loved the gift and I 49 that even though I had spent almost all my money, my stepmother 50 the best. I was glad I gave her the best I could.
Before I 51 my parents’ house, my dad took me to one side and, with our secret handshake, he gave me some money. I hadn’t 52 anything to him about my financial 53 , but I guessed my dad just knew. When I got to the car, I saw the 54 he gave me was three times what I had spent on the gas and the gift! It shows that doing the right thing always es with great 55 .
