“Nana!” Zach shouted, pushing open the kitchen door. “I need a new button!
This morning I lost a button right here.” Zach pointed to the top of his coat.
“Well, I’ll 35 my magic button box,” Nana said. She headed for her bedroom and returned with a big tin box. “I’ve been 36 these buttons since I was a little girl,” Nana said. Then she tapped the cover as if she were knocking on a door.
“Inside this box, Zach, is not just a button collection. Inside are a thousand stories and a million 37 .”
Nana opened the box and poured a waterfall of buttons onto the table. Seeing all kinds of buttons, Zach wanted to examine each and every one. 38 heard their talking and came to see what they were doing.
“I see you’ve brought out the button box,” he said.
“Yes,” Zach answered, “but Nana hasn’t told me what’s 39 about it.”
The three sat at the kitchen table, making the buttons 40 between their fingers while Nana and Grandpa told Zach stories. It was nearly dark when Zach’s mom came home.
When she saw the button box, she sat down without even taking off her coat. “I remember this one.” She 41 a brass button. “This came from my sailor suit. I wore it the first time you took me to the 42 ,” she said to Nana and Grandpa. She closed her eyes and smelled it, remembering the salty sea air.
Nana found a tiny, white, silk button. “Look, this was on the infant (婴儿) suit
Zach wore when you brought him home from the hospital, remember?” “I remember,” Mom said.
“You mean that button was 43 ?” Zach asked. “Sure. You’re part of this family, aren’t you?” Grandpa said. “I think you’re starting to understand the magic of the button box, aren’t you, Zach?” Zach smiled.
“We still need to replace that button you lost,” Nana said.
“Why not use the button from my old coat?” Grandpa suggested.
“Good idea, Grandpa,” Zach said. “But a memory will be 44 from the box.”
“That’s OK. We’ll still remember it,” Nana said.
But Zach wasn’t 45 . He thought for a moment. Then he cut off the bottom button from his shirt.
“What are you doing?” Mom asked.
“I’m 46 a memory,” Zach said, throwing the button into the box. “And the
next time I see that button, it’ll remind me of the day I found out the secret of the magic button box.”
