I tried to do everything just to please Daddy. I got up early to help with the housework. I went home straight as from school. But he didn't seem to be moved by that at all.

The year I turned thirteen was the 100th birthday of our town. The town council decided to hold a parade（游行）, and they wanted a young lady to lead the parade. The families in the area were asked to send pictures of their children. Every parent in the area hoped that their daughter would be chosen, every parent except Daddy.

Mommy sent in a picture of me without telling me. i was always so busy being the boy Daddy wanted, and I never considered having the chance to lead the parade So it was quite a surprise when the town council stopped by one evening to tell us I'd been chosen. Mommy was thrilled. As I expected, Daddy showed no interest in the matter.

The day of the big parade finally arrived. I was dressed in a beautiful white dress. At first I felt shy— I'd hardly ever worn dresses. But Soon I felt like a princess（公主）in a fairy tale.

As the parade passed down the main street of our town, I saw Mommy and Daddy standing on the side. Mommy was waving an American flag. But Daddy...... well, he was just smiling! As I passed him. I thought I saw tears in his eyes. At that moment, I knew I had finally gained his admiration（贊賞）—not as a replacement, but as the young lady I really was.
