"母亲节要到了，送妈妈什么礼物好呢？......"平时妈妈除了工作还要照顾我，实在很辛苦，准备这份礼物可不能粗心大意啊，我在心里提醒着自己。
        "砰！"屋门被关上，妈妈终于去午睡了。 到底送妈妈什么好呢？我暗暗思量，平时妈妈总是买水果给我吃，不然给妈妈做盘水果沙拉吧！这个想法一蹦出我的脑袋，自己都被吓了一跳。做水果沙拉可是得用刀呀！平时很少动刀，万一刀刃划着手怎么办？可是一想到是要送给妈妈的礼物，我立刻把对刀的恐惧抛到了脑后。
        我选了苹果和芒果，先将它们洗干净，然后削去果皮切成块，在盘子上摆好，又添了几勺蓝莓酱。看着有些少，我又在水果上用番茄酱挤了一个"心形"图案，水果沙拉便完成了！但是这些似乎还是不够，我灵机一动，抓起爆米花往碗里倒，又在上面挤了一些蓝莓酱，还把生日帽拿了出来，摆在上面。另外，还得有块像样的桌布吧！一个红彤彤的大爱心桌布被放在了这完美的"水果派对"下面，显得非常漂亮。我的水果派对已经做好了，妈妈还没醒呢，真是"万事俱备,只欠东风"啊！
        当我正得意洋洋的时候，门开了，妈妈睡意朦胧地走出房间。我立刻用身体挡住了桌子，对妈妈说："把眼睛闭上。"然后我悄悄把身体移开了，"哇！"妈妈看到后高兴地一把搂住了我，走到沙拉边，拿起叉子津津有味地吃了起来。我们母女俩三口并作两口，先把"番茄爱心"吃掉，然后开始吃下面的蓝莓酱，看着妈妈把最后一口吃完，我开心地笑了，妈妈回味无穷地说："酸酸甜甜的，真好吃！谢谢我的宝贝女儿！"
        更令我高兴的是忙碌了一上午的妈妈，参加了我布置的"水果派对"后，整个下午都一直哼着小调，显得异常开心。

"Mother's Day was drawing near. What should I give to my mother as a present？" My mother had to work and take care of me. I should give her a nice present. I just tried to bear it in mind.

Finally, the door was closed. My mother went for a noon nap. What should I give to her? I was thinking and thinking. My mother always bought fruits for me. Maybe I should make a fruit salad for her? This thought jumped out of my head. I was surprised and also frightened by the idea. Do I have to use knife to make a fruit salad? I hardly used a knife. What would happen if I cut myself? However, when I thought it was a present for my mother, this fear suddenly disappeared.

I chose apple and mango. I washed them and cut them into pieces and lay them on a plate and covered a few spoons of blueberry sauce. It seemed that I did not use enough sauce. I then make a shape of heart on the fruit with ketchup. Voila! The fruit salad was completed. This seemed not enough. I had a sudden inspiration! I poured some popcorn into the bowl and covered it with some blueberry sauce. Then I took my birth hat out and placed it on the salad. Besides, I thought I still need a nice piece of tablecloth. A piece of red clothes was then placed under this "fruit party". It looked so pretty! The "fruit party" was already completed and my mother was still in sleep. Everything was all ready.

When I felt so elated, the door was opened. My mum walked out of her room with a drowsy face. I blocked the table with my body and told my mother, "Close your eyes." Then I moved my body away. "Wow!" My mother saw it and held me tightly. She walked to the salad and enjoyed it with a fork. My mother and I first ate the heart shaped tomato pieces, and then the blueberry sauce underneath. After I watched my mother finish the last piece, I was so happy. My mother recollected the pleasant flavor and said, "Sweet and sour. So tasty! Thanks you, my little darling."

What pleased me more is that my mum was humming the whole afternoon and seemed extremely happy, even though she had a busy morning.
