Answer:
Nick's face paled when Father asked Joe to show his gift as he knew that Joe's gift was better than his and he was afraid that his gift would be belittled again.
Explanation:
- In the story, "Half A Gift" the two brothers, Nick and Joe decide to buy their mother a gift on Mother's Day,
- Nick, the elder brother, buys a scrubbing pail, a mop and a wringer whereas his brother Joe buys a beautiful stone-studded comb.
- When Nick shows his gift to Mother, she is disappointed. Though Father, saves the situation by telling her that the pail is only half the gift and the other half would be Nick helping with household chores, Nick is still ashamed of his gift.
- When Father asks Joe to show his gift, Nick is afraid that the beautiful comb would further belittle his gift.
