Question

Answer the questions(根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容回答問題):

Alice's mother died when she was five. The year was 1925, and life was hard. Alice, who grew up to be my mother, told me that her family couldn't afford to buy her even a doll as a Christmas gift.

In December 1982, I had a job at a local bank. One afternoon, we were getting ready for the Christmas season. One of my customers came to me with her beautiful handmade dolls. I decided to get one for my daughter, Kate, who was almost five years old. Then I had an idea, I asked my customer if she could make me a special doll for my mother--one with gray hair and glasses: a grandmother doll. And she said yes.

Things really started to fall into place when a friend had told me that his dad who played Santa Claus in my area would be willing to make a visit on Christmas morning to our home to deliver my Katie her present.

Christmas Day arrived at the planned time, so did Santa Claus. I had prepared the presents for Santa to deliver, along with the one for my mother.

My daughter was surprised and happy to get the gift from Santa. As Santa turned to leave, he looked once more into his bag and brought out one more gift. Then he asked who Alice was. My mother was surprised to hear her name. Then Santa handed her the gift, and also a message card that read:

_________________________________________. She held tightly in her arms the doll she had waited fifty-seven years to receive. That doll made my mother the happiest "child".
