In my 40s, as a new solo(独自的)traveller, I spent endless time looking around souvenir shops in tourist areas. It never    41    me that in shops where merchants weren’t    42    big rents, I could save more money. Besides. I didn’t give much    43    for the size of what I was buying, nor did I care that I would have to take the    44    to carry it around for the duration of my holidays.
I learned and    45   . But I also found that over time, the objects that were    46    to me changed too. As my tastes matured, my bags got    47   , and so did the time I spent buying cheap goods.
In my 50s I    48    boxes from around the world, not ordinary boxes but ones    49    made by artists. These were small so they    50    easily into every place of my backpack. The    51    was delightful — the silver from South Korea, the painted camel bone from Egypt and dozens more took up their    52    in my house.
Then a    53    thing happened. My interest in the collection    54    while my grand children’s interest in it grew, so a wonderful and new    55    began. Each time a child came to visit, he or she was    56    to pick a box. My popularity    57    increased among the children, and pretty soon my collection had been    58    among the little people in family. Each gift was    59    by a mini travel story explaining where the    60    was found, who had made it and what that country was like.
