The day before Father’s Day, Mrs Berry asked her students to make a card for their fathers. She passed out paper and pieces of cloth.
Elizabeth looked for a while at the blue cloth and began to cut it. Then she 41 her paper in half and began writing. When Elizabeth finally looked at the message the teacher gave on the paper, she noticed something else. She felt her 42 grow hot — she hadn’t heard that anyone who didn’t have a father could make one for a grandfather or an uncle.
As her teacher walked to her, Elizabeth tried 43 her card with her arm, but Mrs Berry gently 44 it so that she could read it. Elizabeth sat 45 , waiting for her to say something, but she saw a 46 roll down from Mrs Berry’s face. She had never made Mrs Berry so upset.
When school was over, Elizabeth 47 until all the other kids left so that she could 48. “I’m sorry for not listening. I’ll make another card 49 you want. I’ll do it 50 and bring it tomorrow.”
“ 51 are you talking about?” asked Mrs Berry.
“My Father’s Day card. I know you’re upset because I didn’t do it 52 .”
“Elizabeth, that was the 53 card in the whole class. It was so 54 that it made me cry.”
Elizabeth was so 55 that she ran out of the class-room.
When her mom came home from work that night, Elizabeth 56 to give her the card early.
On the front of the card was a 57 of Elizabeth’s mom, with a blue piece of cloth cut like her hair. In-side the card she had written:
Dear Mom,
I know you work really hard to be both a mommy and a(n) 58 . I want to thank you and 59 you a happy Father’s Day!
Love,
Elizabeth
