Even though it was only October, my students were already whispering about Christmas plans. With each passing day everyone became more
31 waiting for the final school bell. Upon its
32 everyone would run for their coats and go home, everyone except David
David was a small boy in ragged clothes. I had often
33 what kind of home life David had, and what kind of mother could send her son to school dressed so
34 for the cold winter months, without a coat, boots, or gloves. But something made David
35 . I can still remember he was always
36 a smile and willing to help. He always
37 after school to straighten chairs and mop the floor. We never talked much. He
38 just smile and ask what else he could do ,then thank me for letting him stay and slowly
39 home.
Weeks passed and the
40 over the coming Christmas grew into restlessness until the last day of
41 before the holiday break. I smiled in
42 as the last of them hurried out the door. Turning around I saw David
43 standing by my desk.
“I have something for you” he said and
44 from behind his back a small box.
45 it to me, he said anxiously, “Open it. ”I took the box from him, thanked him and slowly unwrapped it. I lifted the lid and to my
46 saw nothing. I looked at David’s smiling face and back into the box and said. “The box is nice, David, but it’ s
47 . ”
“ Oh no it isn’t ,” said David “ It’s full of love, my mum told me before she died that love was something you couldn’t see or touch unless you know it’s there .”
Tears filled my eyes
48 I
looked at the proud dirty face that I had rarely given
49 to. After that Christmas, David and I became good friends and I never forgot the meaning
50 the little empty box set on my desk.
