The day before Father’s Day, Mrs. Berry asked her students to __36 ___ a card for their fathers. She passed out paper and pieces of cloth.
Elizabeth looked for a while at the blue cloth and began to cut it. Then she folded (折)her paper in half and began writing. When Elizabeth finally looked at the message the teacher gave on the paper, she noticed something else. She felt her 37 grow hot — she hadn’t heard that anyone who didn’t have a father could make one for a grandfather or an uncle.
As her teacher walked to her, Elizabeth tried 38 her card with her arm, but Mrs Berry gently 39 it so that she could read it. Elizabeth sat 40 , waiting for her to say something, but she saw a 41 roll down Mrs Berry’s face. She had never made Mrs Berry so upset.
When school was over, Elizabeth 42 until all the other kids left so that she could 43 . “I’m sorry for not listening. I’ll make another card 44 you want. I’ll do it 45 and bring it tomorrow.”
“ 46 are you talking about?” asked Mrs Berry.
“My Father’s Day card. I know you’re upset because I didn’t do it 47 .”
“Elizabeth, that was the 48 card in the whole class. It was so 49 that it made me cry.”
Elizabeth was so 50 that she ran out of the classroom.
When her mom came home from work that night, Elizabeth 51 to give her the card early.
On the front of the card was a 52 of Elizabeth’s mom, with a blue piece of cloth cut like her hair. Inside the card she had written:
Dear Mom,
I know you work really hard to be both a mommy and a(n) 53 . I want to thank you and 54 you a happy Father’s Day!
Love,
Elizabeth
