038 The Perfect Present ENG

I’ve just received this package in the mail. It’s for my birthday. It’s from my best friend who lives in Bologna. It doesn’t weigh much at all. I wonder what it could be. Maybe it’s a solar powered battery charger. I’ve wanted one of those ever since I saw it on vacation last year. My friend always picks out just the right gifts; he’s got a real knack for it. So far he’s never disappointed me. Have you ever expected to receive a good gift and were then let down? Hmmm, let me give it a little shake. I wonder if it’s that Spanish dictionary that I’ve had my eye on. I’ve been studying Spanish, and I’ve been dropping hints that I need a new dictionary for the past two months. No, I don’t think so. It’s way too light to be a dictionary. The last time we spoke I mentioned that I really wanted an iPhone, but I can’t imagine that he’s actually gone out and bought me one. He’s very generous, but he’s not made of money. However, you can never tell with him. He’s always surprising his friends. Something tells me it’s made of paper. Could it be money? I could really use a little extra cash. I’ve been hoping to go away for a weekend. Well, the only way to solve this mystery is to unwrap it and open the box. What on Earth? It says that he’s made a monetary donation in my name to help the Earthquake victims in Japan! Now that’s a perfect present! At a time like this it’s much better to think about my fellow man than to think about myself. That’s all for now! See you next time.
