As Christmas 2 , her dream for a bike seemed to disappear, we thought, for she didn't say it again. We were busy 3 some beautiful story books, a doll house, a holiday dress and toys. Then to our surprise, on December 24, she said she really wanted a bike more than 4 .
Now we didn't know 5 to do. It was just too late. We were busy with Christmas dinner and packing 6 presents, parents' presents, a brother's present and friends' presents till midnight.

Suddenly my husband had an idea. "What about making a little bike with clay (黏土) and writing a note that she could trade in (交换) the model bike for a real one?" So he spent the next five hours carefully __9__ with clay to make a small bike.

She looked at me and said, "So, does this mean I can trade in this bike for a real 12 _?" Smiling, I said, "Yes!" Alice had tears in her eyes when she replied, "I would 13 trade in this beautiful bike Daddy made me. I __14 _ keep it than get a real bike. This is the best Christmas present 15 I have ever got in my life!"
