When I was seven years old I saw my mother making doll clothes.She told me that they were for the poor people，so I never gave it another thought.Come Christmas morning when I opened my present，there were those beautiful doll clothes.My mother just smiled and said， "They are for the poor people.We're poor."
When I was nine，my greatest desire in life was to own a pogo stick （彈簧高蹺）.But my mother told me that we simply couldn't afford one.A few days before Christmas，my parents and I went shopping.While my mother and I were paying the money，my dad came with a long box.I remember wondering at that very moment if it was a pogo stick in that box.After we arrived back at home my dad put the box in the barn（谷倉）.While my parents were away，I snuck out to the barn to find the box.I was so excited and I knew that as soon as I opened that magical box my bright，shiny pogo stick would appear.No such luck!Inside the box was a silly old broom （掃帚）.And so Christmas morning was disappointing.After all the wrapping paper was cleaned up，my dad came back from the barn with a beautiful pogo stick.I couldn't believe it，how they were able to get the money for it and how they tricked me with the broom.My parents probably laugh quietly when they played the trick on me and I wonder if they were watching me from the window as I went out to the barn secretly for my Christmas present.
Although we didn't have much money，my parents gave me the most important gift of all，much love.We had love and we had joy.
