All Saturday I waited 39 and with Sunday arriving, my concern increased, but I 40 an enquiry（询问）about the box might 41 anger or loud voice, for in my house children only asked once. More than that 42 trouble.
Late Sunday afternoon, my father called me into the kitchen. The table was covered with colorful 43 of different kinds. A (n) 44 shoebox rested on top of it. 45 flooded through me when Daddy said, “Let’s get started 46 your project.”

He gave me other gifts through the years, but none 55 compared with the love I felt within the limits of the old, empty shoebox.
