“Weren’t you a crazy kid ! ”said Sister．

I was．The　 1　 I was seven．Father gave me a new penny, bright as gold．He had taken it out of his pocket several times,　 2　 to be examining the date on it waiting for me to　 3 it．He couldn’t offer me anything until I had 4 some sign that the gift would be 5 ．

“You can　 6　 it if you want it, Peter, ” he said at long last．“Oh, thanks．”I said 7 　 more．I couldn’t show any of my eagerness．

I started with it to the　 8　．For a penny you could buy the magic cylinder of“ Long Tom” popcorn（爆米花）．　9　 the more I thought my shining　 10　 disappearing forever into the black drawer the store keeper　11　 his money in, the slower my　 12　 became as the store came nearer and nearer．I　 13　 down in the road．I began to play with the penny, putting off the　14　．I closed my eyes and　 15　 it deep in the sand; and then, with my eyes still closed,　 16　 and walked around and then came back to search for it．I did that again and again．Alas, once　 17　 often, the penny was lost．

It was almost dark when their　 18　 talking awakened me．It was Mother who had found me．“Peter! What made you come up here and hide?”I was to have told her the whole story but Father was there．How could I bear the　 19　 to repeat the　20　 thing before him!
