My mom was going to bake her special chocolate cake with white icing. As I watched her, I thought, “Gee, I wonder what I can do to make my brother's birthday special.”     I knew my parents had already bought a present for me to give to Johnny, but I wanted to buy him something I had chosen myself and with the money I had saved. After giving it some thought, I wanted to buy him the paint­by­number kit (数字涂色小套装) I had seen at the store around the corner.     I decided to empty my coin jar and see how much money I had saved. However, I was disappointed to find there was much less than I had imagined. “Oh, no, I only have about three dollars, ” I muttered to myself. The set cost more than I have saved.     Suddenly a “great” idea occurred to me. I slid into my parents' bedroom where my dad kept loose change on top of the dresser. I stood on my tiptoes and saw some dime, nickels, and a few quarters. I carefully counted out what I needed to make up the difference. “I'm sure Dad won't mind just this once, ” I thought.     However, I was soon overcome by guilt. Even though there was no one else in the bedroom, I felt like I was being watched. Mom was always telling us about the importance of honesty. “Maybe my plan wasn't such a great idea after all, ” I thought. I jingled the change around in my pocket while wondering what to do.     I grabbed my jacket from the closet and headed toward the door. “Where are you going, honey？” Mom asked. “Oh, just up to the corner store, ” I replied. “Well, don't stay out too long. Daddy will be home soon.” “Okay, Mom, ” I ran out of our house.     Once I got to the store, I took the paint­by­number kit from the shelf.      “Can I help you, young lady？” the salesclerk asked.      “No, I'm just looking. Thank you, ” I said.      “That's a really nice paint kit. We sell a lot of them and, as you can see, that's the last one, ” she said.     Paragraph 1：     I nodded my head in agreement, with my mind racing.     Paragraph 2：     I would just have to wait until I saved the extra money I needed. 答案：Paragraph 1：     I nodded my head in agreement, with my mind racing. But finally, I decided to place the paint­by­number kit back on the shelf and headed home. Luckily, once I got home, Mom was busy talking on the phone and Dad wasn't back home yet, so I was able to slip past the kitchen without being noticed. I went to my parents' room to return the coins I had taken. I arranged them into a neat stack—just like they were before—and sighed with relief, knowing I had done the right thing. Paragraph 2：     I would just have to wait until I saved the extra money I needed. The salesclerk had even agreed that she would hold the paint set behind the counter for me until I had enough money to pay for it. I figured I could earn it by doing odd jobs around the house. Then I wasn't able to buy the paint kit until two weeks later, but it seemed extra special when I was finally able to lay my money on the counter. I smiled as I raced home knowing the paint kit would be the perfect present for Johnny.
