On my birthday my parents told me they had my __38 outside in the back yard. At once I 39 out to the yard. There was my bike， 40 it wasn’t the bike that I thought it would be. This one was pink， old and worn with age. It was so __41！ I thought I __42 my parents’ feelings because I could see the disappointment 43 their faces and I was sure they could see it on mine. I 44 the old bike and rode it， feeling 45 that I had made my parents feel this way. So I put on a smile， rode as fast as I could and didn’t 46__.
