Paul received an expensive car from his brother as a Christmas present．On Christmas Eve Paul saw a dirty and poorly-dressed boy walking 26 his shining car．“Is this your car，Paul？”he asked．
Paul told him how he got the car and the boy was 27 ．“You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn’t cost you nothing？Boy，I wish…” he said, without 28 his sentence．Paul thought the boy wished he had a 29 like that. But what the boy said surprised Paul greatly. “I wish,”the boy went on，“that I could be a brother like that．”
Paul looked at the boy in surprise. He invited him to take a 30 in his car and the boy agreed happily. After a short ride，the boy turned and with his eyes 31 ，said，“Paul，would you mind driving in front of my house？”
Paul smiled a little．He thought the boy wanted to 32 his neighbors that he could ride home in a big car. But Paul was wrong 33 . The boy ran back into his house, and after a short while came back with his disabled brother in his arms.
He 34 him down on the step and pointed to the car. “There she is, Buddy, just like what I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn’t 35 him a cent. Some day I’m going to give you one just like it.”
