The Best Holiday
I was unbelievably proud of my nine-year-old daughter, Emily. 1 to buy a mountain bike, she’d been saving her pocket money all year, as well as doing small jobs to earn extra money.
By Thanksgiving, she had collected only $49. I said, “You 2 have your pick from my bicycle 3 .” “Thanks, Daddy. But your bikes are so old.” She was right. All my girls’ bikes were 1950s models, not the kind a kid today would 4 choose.

No, one would be enough. But I couldn’t 13 the feeling that I should give a second bike. When I later 14 the bikes, the car dealer said, “You’re making two kids very 15 , sir. Here are your tickets. For each bicycle contributed, we’re 16 away one chance to win a girls’ mountain bike.”
Why wasn’t I surprised when that second ticket proved to be the 17 ? I like to think it was God’s way of 18 a little girl for a sacrifice 19 her years― while giving her dad a lesson in the 20 .
