How do you choose a gift for someone?
James Otis, we need to help out,” said Mama. “Mrs.Temple’s daughter’s name is Sarah. She’s seven. You can give her something from your heart,” said Mama. But what would Sarah want?
Mama was making an apron for Mrs. Temple out of her best white tablecloth.
“But Mama,” I said, “that’s the only nice thing in our house!”
“I’m making it with love in my heart,” said Mama.
I thought about things to give to Sarah, but nothing was right. She wouldn’t want an incomplete puzzle, or a few old crayons . Finally, I decided to write a book and draw pictures in it for Sarah.
读之前想想看：你如何为他人挑选礼物？
妈妈说：「James Otis，我们必须帮助她们。」妈妈又说： 「Temple 太太的女儿叫 Sarah，今年 7 岁。你可以发自内心送她 一件礼物。」，但 Sarah 会想要收到什么样的礼物呢？
妈妈正在用她最好的白色桌布缝制一件围裙给 Temple 太太。 我说：「妈妈，那块白桌布可是我们家里唯一的好东西了！」
妈妈说：「我是用满满的心意在缝制这件围裙。」
我思考着给 Sarah 什么礼物，但始终没找到合适的。她不会想 收到一幅不完整的拼图，或是一些旧的彩色蜡笔。最后，我决定为 Sarah 写一本书，并在书中绘制图画。
