题型：不详难度：来源：
“Why not a lovely doll? Girls like dolls,” she thought as she stepped into the store.
Looking around ,she saw a grandma doll—one with gray and a pair of glasses. As she gazed at it, in her mind somehow appeared Linda, her mother.
When Rita was a little girl, she got her first doll form Linda for her birthday. She was very happy. Then the second, the third……,Rita began to feel puzzled, When she asked her mum the reason, the answer was always “A girl can never have enough dolls.” Year after year, Rita grew up and Linda aged, but a doll a year from Linda never arrived late.
“But why always a doll?” This question had been in Rita’s mind until one day her father gave the answer.
Little Linda dreamed to have a doll. Her parents promised one for her fifth birthday. Sadly, they both died in a traffic accident before it arrived .The never—received gift was the most precious* in her eyes. That’s why she thought dolls were the best birthday gifts for Rita.
Her mother’s story being recalled ,Rita got an idea……
It was Linda’s sixtieth birthday. The whole family gathered around the sixty-year-old lady when the doorbell rang, Much to Linda’s surprise ,a package was delivered* to her, with a card read:
Dear Linda,
I forget to send you the package that you should have received on May 20,1956,your fifth birthday. The gift inside has aged ,but I felt that you might still wish to have it. Sorry for the lateness! Love, Angel of Joy
Linda opened the package and saw a lovely grandma doll. She clasped the doll that she had waited so many years to receive ,tears coursing down her face. The doll, given by “Angel of Joy”, made her the happiest “child ”alive .
