Birthday Gift

魏欣怡

Everyone likes birthday.Because you can get gifts from your parents.Thirteen years passed.I never receive a gift from my parents.My parents work in Dongguan city.They come back home once a year.When Spring Festival is coming，they are coming back.Last year，they came back with a new coat.That was my gift for last birthday.

“Happy birthday！I know it is too late for you.”

“Wow，it is so beautiful，but today is not my birthday.”

“I'm sorry，Xinyi.We are too far from you and we can bring a gift for you only on Spring Festival.”

I was still happy.Better late than never.Dad and Mum said they would send me a gift by post.This year I will receive a gift on my birthday.I am waiting and waiting.I hope May 12th is coming soon.

“Hi，Xinyi！You have a parcel1from Dongguan city，”a man was calling me loudly.He's our headmaster.I was having P.E.class at that moment on playground.I ran to his office quickly.I couldn't wait to open the box.Wow，it is a new mobile phone！

“Isn't it my birthday gift？It's so expensive，”I asked the headmaster in a surprise.

“Your parents send you a cellphone for connecting when it is necessary.Will you play games with it？”Our headmaster is strict with us.He doesn't allow us to play games in class.“Xinyi，I hope you make a promise.This phone is only for connecting，not for playing.”I promised，“Yes，sir.I won't play games in class.”

Then I found a note in the box:Dear Xinyi，this mobile phone is for connecting.Don't play it in class.When you come across the words you don't know，it can help you.It will be your good teacher and friend.Yours，with love，daddy and mummy.

生日禮物

每個人都喜歡過生日。因為你們都可以收到父母的禮物。十三年過去了，我從來沒有收到過父母給我的生日禮物。我的父母在東莞市上班。他們一年才回老家一次。春節到了，他們就趕回家。去年，他們回家給我帶了一件新外套。那是補給我的生日禮物。

“生日快樂！我知道對你而言這份禮物來得晚了些。”

“哇塞，好漂亮啊，可是今天不是我的生日。”

“很抱歉，欣怡。我們離家遠，只能到春節時給你帶禮物。”

我還是很高興。來得遲總比沒有要好。爸爸媽媽說他們會通過郵局給我寄禮物。今年我可以收到生日禮物了。我等啊等啊，希望5月12號早點到來。

“喂，欣怡！你有一個包裹，東莞來的。”有一個人在大聲叫我。他是我們的校長。那時我正在操場上體育課。我很快跑向校長辦公室，迫不及待打開盒子。哇塞，一部新手機！

“不是我的禮物吧？這么貴重的禮物！”我驚訝地問校長。

“你父母送你手機，必要時聯絡用的。你會用它玩游戲嗎？”校長對我們要求嚴格。他不允許我們上課玩手機。“欣怡，我希望你做個承諾。這部手機只用來聯絡，不是用來玩游戲的。”我承諾道：“好的，校長。我上課絕不玩游戲。”

后來，我在盒子里發現一張紙條，上面寫著：親愛的欣怡，這部手機供你聯絡用。上課別玩手機。當你遇到不懂的單詞，它能幫助你。它會成為你的良師益友。愛你的爸爸和媽媽。
