Rita is looking for a gift for her daughter. She stops in front of a store with all kinds of dolls.
Why not buy a cute doll? Girls like dolls. She walks into the store, looks around and sees a grandma doll—one with grey hair and a pair of glasses. As she looks at it, she thinks of Linda. When Rita is little, she gets the first doll from Linda for her birthday. Then the second, the third… Rita begins to feel puzzled. When she asks about the reason, Linda always answers, “A girl can never have enough(足够的) dolls.” Rita grows up and Linda is old now, but a doll a year from Linda never comes late.
But why always a doll? She finally knows the reason from her dad:
Little Linda wanted a doll. Her parents agreed to give her one for her fifth birthday. Sadly, they died(去世) before it came. The never-received(从未收到的) gift is the best in her eyes. And that's why she gives her daughter dolls these years. Rita has an idea…
It is Linda's sixtieth birthday. A postman brings a package to her, with a card reading:
Dear Linda,
I forget to send you the package that you should have received on 20th May, 1968, your fifth birthday. The gift inside becomes old, but I feel you may still wish to have it. Sorry for the lateness!
Love,
Angel of Joy
