Free Toy Car 收到禮物: 紅色汽車

Sometimes the best things in life really are free. This week our children and I went to an electronics store 電器店 with thoughtfire mom and dad. I usually window shop for computer and camera equipment 看電腦與攝影的設備, thoughtfire dad window shops for high definition televisions 看高清晰度電視 and thoughtfire mom eats snacks with the grandchildren. This time though our little son went with me and spied a nice, unpackaged red toy car in the shopping cart. He picked it up and started playing with it as I was shopping. To his credit he did give it up to the salesperson as we were leaving. Since it was unpackaged I asked the salesperson how much it cost 問他要多少錢. He asked several people before coming to the conclusion that it must have been just a stray sample and telling us our son could keep it….a blessing of the Lord 神的祝福. Presents don’t always come on birthdays.

Our younger son loves all sorts of vehicles 小兒子喜歡各種各樣的車子. It doesn’t matter whether they travel on road or track. These cars were neatly parked together by him on our otherwise messy table.
