His parents said,” yes. That’s why we are going to have a surprise party for him.”

Jack loved his Grandpa and wanted to do something special for him. He remembered the business card his grandpa had given him two years before. He knew that his grandpa would no longer have the position (职位)on that card, so he decided to get a new one for his grandpa.

When the big day came, Jack was ready. But he didn’t want to put his gift together with others. He carried it around with him the whole evening.

When all the other people left, he took his grandpa’s hand and brought him over to a chair and gave him the gift.

His grandpa smiled, “Well, it must be a beautiful gift. May I open it now? ” “Sure!” Jack said excitedly.

“Well, how much do I get paid?” His grandpa asked, smiling. “As many hugs as you want!” With these words, Jack gave Grandpa a hug. “Well, I guess that means I’m the richest man in the world!” said Grandpa.
