　　Even though it was only October, my students were already whispering about Christmas plans.  With each passing day, everyone became more   1   waiting for the final school bell.  On its   ringing, everyone would run for their coats and go home, everyone except David.
　　David was a small boy in ragged clothes.  I had often   2   what kind of home life David had, and what kind of mother could send her son to school dressed so   3    for the cold winter months, without a coat, boots, or gloves.  But something made David   4   .  I can still remember he was always   5   a smile and willing to help.  He always   6   after school to help with the cleaning.  We never talch.  He would just smile and ask what else he could do, then thank me for letting him stay and slowly   7   home.
　　Weeks passed and the excitement over the coming Christmas grew into restlessness until the last day of   8   before the holiday break.  I smiled in relief as the last of them hurried out the door.  Turning around, I saw David   9   standing by my desk.
　　“I have something for you” he said and   10   from behind his back a small box.  Handing it to me, he said anxiously.  “Open it”.  I took the box from him, thanked him and slowly upwrapped it.  I lifted the lid and, to my   11   , saw nothing.  I looked at David’s smiling face and back into the box and said.  “The box is nice, David, but it’s   12   ”.
　　“Oh, no.  It isn’t” said David,  “It’s full of love.  My mum told me before she died that love was something you couldn’t see or touch unless you know it’s there”.
　　Tears filled my eyes as I looked at the   13   dirty face that I had seldom given   14   to.  After that Christmas, David and I became good friends and I never forgot the meaning   15   the little empty box set on my desk.
