Then,much to our surprise,on December 23rd,she said that she “really wanted a bike more than anything else”.It was just too late.With all the details of preparing Christmas dinner and buying last-minute gifts,how could we take the time to select the “right bike” for our little girl So,here we were — Christmas Eve around 9:00 p.m.,with Almie and her six-year-old brother,Dylan,settled(安置) snug(暖和的) in their beds.Now we could only think of the bicycle and the disappointment of our child.
“What if I make a little bicycle out of clay(泥) and write a note that she could trade the clay model in for a real bike ” her dad asked.

“Does this mean that I trade in this bike that Daddy made me for a real one ”
Pleased,I said,“Yes.” Almie had tears in her eyes when she replied,“I could never trade in this beautiful bicycle that Daddy made me.I’d rather keep this than get a real bike.”
