It was at least two months before Christmas, when nine-year-old Rose told her father and me the she wanted a new bike. Her Barbi bike was just too old, and it needed repairing as well.
As Christmas came nearer, her dream for a bike seemed to disappear, so we thought, for she didn’t mention it again. We were busy buying some beautiful story books, a doll house, a holiday dress and toys. Then much to our surprise, on December 24, she said she really wanted a bike more than anything else.
Now we didn’t know what to do. It was just too late. We were busy
with Christmas dinner and packing children’s presents, parents’ presents, a brother’s present and for our little girl. Thinking that we were parents who would make their child unhappy, we felt guilty and sad.
Suddenly my husband came up with an idea. “What if I make a little bike out of clay (黏土) and write a note that she could trade in the model bike for a real one” So he spent the next five hours carefully working with clay to make a small bike.
On Christmas morning, we were so excited for Rose to open the little box with the beautiful red and white clay bike and the note. She opened and read the note loudly.
She looked at me and her father and said, “So, does this mean I can trade in this bike for a real one” Smiling, I said, “Yes.” Rose had tears in her eyes when she replied, “I would never trade in this beautiful bike that Daddy made me. I prefer to keep it rather than get a real bike.” At that moment, we would have moved moved the God to buy God to buy her every bike on the earth. writer was Rose’s________.
