On my birthday my parents told me they had my ______ outside in the back yard. At once (马上) I ______ out quickly to the yard. There was my bike, ______ it wasn't the bike that I thought it would be. This one was pink, old and worn (破旧的) with age. How ______ it was!

Although I was ______, I got on the old bike and rode it. Also, I put on a smile (微笑), rode as fast as I could and didn't ______.

As time went by, I began to understand (明白) my parents gave me ______ much more than just a rusty (生锈的) old bike. They gave me a life lesson about ______.
