Amy was looking for a gift for her little daughter. Suddenly she stopped before a store of dolls(洋娃娃). "Girls like dolls, "she thought as she went into it. Looking around, she saw a grandma doll with gray hair and a pair of glasses. In her mind appeared(出现)Joyce, her mother.
When Amy was a little girl, she got her first doll from Joyce for her birthday. Then the second, the third... A doll a year never arrived late.
"Why always a doll?" This question had been in Amy's mind until her father gave the answer one day.
Little Joyce dreamed to have a doll. Her parents promised(承诺)one for her fifth birthday. Sadly, they both died in a traffic accident(交通事故)before it arrived. The never-received gift was the most precious(珍贵的)in her eyes. Her mother's story being recalled(回想起), Amy got an idea.
It was Joyce's birthday. Amy sent a package(包裹)to her with a card that read:
Dear Joyce,
I forgot to send you the package that you should have received on May 20, 1956, your fifth birthday. The gift inside has turned old, but I felt that you might still wish to have it.
Love, Angel of Joy
