When Amy was a little girl,she got her first doll from Joyce for her birthday.Then the second,he dolls never arrived late,year after year. "Why always a doll？" This question had been in Amy's mind until one day her father gave the answer.
Joyce dreamed of having a doll when she was a child herself.Her parents promised one for her fifth birthday.Sadly,they both died in a traffic accident before it arrived,The never- received gift was the most precious one in her eyes.
Recalling her mother's story,Amy got an idea.It was Joyce's 60th birthday.She got a package with a card that read：
Dear Joyce,
I forget to send you a package that you should have received on May 20，1956，your fifth birthday.The gift inside has aged,but I felt that you might still want to have it.
Love,
Angel of Joy
