I dressed our three daughters quickly as my husband started the van. Cutting down our own Christmas tree had been a family tradition. As our family grew，so did our excitement for going out to find the perfect tree.As we walked through the rows of trees，my youngest daughter Kimberly shouted excitedly，“There it is，the perfect tree!”The other two agreed. My husband and I looked at each other puzzled. We were surprised the girls thought that straggly (凌乱的）little tree was perfect. Its branches were misshappen(畸形的）and the trunk was visible through the spots where there were no pine needles.We tried to persuade our daughters into changing their minds, but in vain. We had to tie the sad little tree to the roof of our van and headed home. As we reached our house, Heather jumped out first. Suddenly she shouted，“The tree isnt there! ”We thought she was kidding. However，it wasnt there.The girls were so disappointed. “Well get another tree tomorrow，”I said, secretly hoping the new tree would be prettier. But the girls gave us the look that no parent can resist. We had no choice but to go back and find that tree.About five minutes into our drive, we saw it on the side of the road. As we got closer，we found it had been run over by a truck. As we lifted the tree，we saw that a big part was ripped off，but we took it home anyway.That night，as we decorated our tree，something magical happened. We didnt realize it at the time but we were making a very special family memory. By the time we were done，I had to admit，it didnt look sad after all. “This is the best tree we ever had. Its perfect!，”my second daughter Samantha said excitedly. My husband and I couldnt have agreed more!Now we always recall that little broken tree! Year by year，we tell the story of that very special Christmas almost twenty-five years ago.1、Who was the first to find the tree was missing?AThe youngest daughter.
