阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
It was Christmas Day. Pappy was working alone fixing an old lantern in the backroom when he heard the ringing of his bell on the shop door. The bell, which produced a uniquely pleasant sound, had been in Pappy's family for over a hundred years. He valued it dearly and enjoyed sharing its song with all who came to his shop. Although the bell hung on the inside of the main door, Pappy had tied a wire to the screen door so that it would ring whether the inner door was open or not. Hearing the bell, he left the backroom to greet his customer.
“And how can I help you, little lady?” Pappy's voice was joyful.
“Hello, sir.” The little girl spoke almost in a whisper. She looked at Pappy with her big brown eyes, and then slowly scanned the room in search of something special. Shyly she told him, “I'd like to buy a present, sir.”
“Well, let's see,” Pappy said, “who is this present for?”
“My grandpa. It's for my grandpa. But I don't know what to get.”
Pappy began to make suggestions. “How about a pocket watch? It's in good condition.” The little girl didn't answer. She had walked to the doorway and put her small hand on the door. She shook the door gently to ring the bell. Pappy's face seemed to glow as he saw her smiling with excitement. “This is just right,” the little girl said. “Momma says grandpa loves music.”
Just then, Pappy's expression changed. Fearful of breaking the little girl's heart, he told her, “I'm sorry, Missy. That's not for sale. Maybe your grandpa would like this little radio.” The girl looked at the radio, bowed her head, and sadly sighed, “No, I don't think so.”
In an effort to help her understand, Pappy told her that the bell had been his only companion, for the rest of his family were all gone now, except for his estranged (疏远的) daughter whom he had not seen for nearly a decade.
With a giant tear in her eye, the little girl looked up at him.___________________________________
Later that evening when Pappy was closing up the shop, he heard a familiar ringing. __________________________

(Para.1Edition 2)With a giant tear in her eye, the little girl looked up at him. She forced a smile, murmuring“Thank you”and made her way to the door. There was a dead silence in the shop. Suddenly Pappy thought of his daughter. Driven by a sense of sympathy, Pappy called out, “How much have you got to spend?”Hearing this, the little girl counted money in her purse---two dollars altogether. After thinking for what seems like a few seconds, Pappy announced,“Today is Christmas Day and this is your lucky day. It is two dollars that the bell costs exactly.”The child danced out with great joy, the special bell held in her hand.
(Para.2Edition 2)Later that evening when Pappy was closing up the shop, he heard a familiar ringing. He couldn't believe his ears! There in the doorway stood the little girl, ringing the bell and smiling sweetly.
Puzzled, Pappy approached her. "Have you changed your mind, little lady?""No," the child grinned ,"Momma says the present is for you." Before Pappy had time to say another word, the child mother stepped in. Holding back her tears, she gently said,"Hello, Dad."

Step IV: Practice
It was summer, and my dad wanted to treat me to a vacation like never before. He decided to take me on a trip to the Wild West. We took a plane to Albuquerque, a big city in the state of New Mexico. We reached Albuquerque in the late afternoon. Uncle Paul, my dad's friend, picked us up from the airport and drove us up to his farm in Pecos.
His wife Tina cooked us a delicious dinner and we got to know his sons Ryan and Kyle. My dad and I spent the night in the guestroom of the farm house listening to the frogs and water rolling down the river nearby. Very early in the morning, Uncle Paul woke us up to have breakfast. “The day starts at dawn on my farm,” he said. After breakfast, I went to help Aunt Tina feed the chickens, while my dad went with Uncle Paul to take the sheep out to graze (吃草). I was impressed to see my dad and Uncle Paul riding horses. They looked really cool.
In the afternoon, I asked Uncle Paul if I could take a horse ride, and he said yes, as long as my dad went with me. I wasn‘t going to take a horse ride by myself anyway. So, my dad and I put on our new cowboy hats, got on our horses, and headed slowly towards the mountains. “Don’t be late for supper,” Uncle Paul cried, “and keep to the track so that you don’t get lost!” “OK!” my dad cried back. After a while Uncle Paul and his farm house were out of sight. It was so peaceful and quiet and the colors of the brown rocks, the deep green pine trees, and the late afternoon sun mixed to create a magic scene. It looked like a beautiful woven (编织的) blanket spread out upon the ground just for us.。
