I am proud of myself

Every year on December 13th, I will be extremely happy, because that day is my birthday.

Originally, my birthday was to receive sincere blessings and cool gifts from friends, family and classmates, but I did the opposite.

Five days before my birthday, I came up with this idea - give someone a gift. But to whom? Think about who treats me best and who pays the most for me... Well! You will definitely say it’s mom. Because maternal love is the greatest.

I thought about it for a while, what should I give? If it's something you bought, it doesn't represent your sincerity. If you make it yourself, you only have five days! What can you do in five days? However, there is no gift for my mother here. Can I buy it? There are only five days, so I’d better do it. If you can spell it out, do it!

In the afternoon, I started looking for materials. Because it was winter and very cold, I decided to knit a scarf for my mother. I found a needle and a thread. I recalled how my mother knitted scarves in the past. I tried it, but I couldn't knit it well. I kept knitting. A dead knot. I went to my grandma for help again. I studied there for about an hour and finally got some skills.

In the past few days, I have been knitting scarves almost every day. Except for eating and studying, I have been knitting almost all the time, even while sleeping.

When December 13th finally arrived, I was very excited and nervous. I didn’t know how to give the scarf I knitted to my mother. While my mother was cutting the cake, I mustered up the courage to take the knitted but not very pretty scarf out of the room.

"Mom, please wait a moment, I have something to give you." I blushed and walked to my mother. I gently put the scarf on my mother and used it as the scarf. For a moment, my mother's eye circles became very red...

I am proud of myself! Because I gave my mother warmth!
