It was 1958, and I was 10 years old. Being the older of two boys, I took the mission    31   . I was going to find Mom a useful gift that showed her how much we loved her. In the shop, there was so much to    32    from—cards, combs etc. But while looking in the kitchen hardware section, I spotted    33    I thought was the perfect gift: a peeler(削皮器). We ate potatoes nearly every day. My earliest    34    are of my mother peeling potatoes slowly and expertly with her favorite knife. This new peeler would make her job so much    35   . On Mother’s Day, Mom opened her gift. I saw only    36    in her eyes. I was    37    to see the new peeler in operation, but my mother kept using her old knife. After several days of    38   , I asked her, “Mom, why don’t you use the new potato peeler?” “My goodness, I must have    39   ,” she replied. “I’ll use it tomorrow.” But she didn’t. I    40   hid her old knife once in the dark drawer, hoping she’d have to use the new peeler.    41   Mom found the old knife and kept using it. Finally I asked her if she wasn’t    42    her Mother’s Day gift.  “Alvin, the best part of the potato is just    43    the skin,” she explained. “This new type of peeler wastes too much of the potato and    44    the best part.” Seeing the    45    look on my face, she   46   , “Alvin, I’ll always remember your    47   . I’ll keep it in the drawer forever    48   every time I open it and see the peeler I’ll be    49   of what a wonderful Mother’s Day it was.” Fifty years later, when my brother and I    50    Mom and Dad’s belongings, I spotted the potato peeler in the drawer. I wondered how many times she held it in her hands and thought, “What a wonderful Mother’s Day it was!” 31.
