B
It's going to be my father's birthday. What shall I give him? I don't have much money. I want to give him some sweets or a new shirt, but he really doesn't eat many sweets and he has lots of clothes.

He washes the car, cuts the grass and waters the plants. I have an idea. I write something on a piece of paper. “I will help wash the car and water the plants every weekend this summer. Happy Birthday!” I give my “gift” to him. He says, “It's a very thoughtful gift. It's from your heart. I love it.” I will do all those things for my dad in summer. We will be very happy.
A good gift doesn't have to be something expensive. A good gift shows how much you care for others.
