Father's Gift
A young man was getting ready to graduate from college. For many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer's showroom, and knowing his father could well afford it, he told him that was all he wanted. As Graduation Day approached, the man waited for his present. On the morning of his graduation, his father called him into his study. His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him. He handed his son a beautiful box
Curious, and somewhat disappointed, the young man opened the box and found a lovely Bible, with the young man's name embossed in gold. Angry, he raised his voice to his father and said," With all your money , you give me a Bible ?" and rushed out of the house.
Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business. He had a beautiful home and wonderful family, but realized his father was very old, and needed help. He had not seen him since that graduation day. Before he could make arrangements, he received a telegraph telling him his father had passed away, and willed all of his possessions to his son. He needed to come home immediately and take care of things. When he arrived at his father's house, sudden sadness and regret filled his heart
He began to search his father's important papers and saw the still gift-wrapped Bible, just as he had left it years ago. With tears, he opened the Bible and began to turn the pages. Suddenly, a car key dropped from the back of the Bible. It had a tag with the dealer's name, the same dealer who had the sports car he had admired. On the tag was the date of his graduation, and the words PAID IN FULL.

语篇赏析
父母的爱是无私的,如涓涓细流,不张扬,都又那样深厚,那样绵长。由于我们的年幼无知,由于我们的虚荣,我们曾辜负父母的期望,误解父母的厚爱,这是多么令人悲伤、令人后悔呀!
