Text A The Greatest Gift

By Christine Many



When I was a child I was shocked at the idea that(引导同位语从句) my sister could be my best （最高级）friends.Now I wouldn’t have it any other way.

But my mother never let the three of us forget it: Sisters are lifelong friends. Her wish（愿望） - like most parents’ - was to give us something that she never had（定语从句）. Growing up an only child, she longed for siblings. When she gave birth to three daughters - separated by only four years - the fufillment（履行，实现）of her dream had only just begun. She had given us each
