What a Great Gift Comedian David Brenner came from a poor but close family. When he graduated from his school, however, he was given an unforgettable (34) gift. "Some of my friends got new clothes and about a (35) few rich kids even got new cars," he remembered, "When my father (36) reached out into his pants pocket and took something out. I extended (37) my hand, palm up, and he let my present drop into it—a nickel!" (38) "Dad said to me, ’Buy a newspaper with that. Read every word of (39) it. Then turn to the classified section and get yourself to a job. Get (40) into the world. It’s all yours now. ’" "I always thought that as was (41) a great joke my father had played on me until a few years later when (42) I was in the Army, upon sitting in a foxhole, and thinking about (43) my family and my life. It was then when I realized that my friends (44) had been gotten only new cars, or only clothes. My father had given (45) me the whole world. What a great gift is !\
