I used to give much money to the homeless around,feeling sorry for their misfortune. But later I became a single mom with no home,a huge 1 and hardly any income. 2 ,I stopped giving and became very bitter.
Several years later,things started to 3 I became rich enough to have a home,and 4 a backyard. And I started to pull myself out of debt. One day we saw a homeless person with a 5 "Will work for food". I passed him. My daughter asked why I no longer helped the people in 6 I replied, "Honey,they just use that money for 7 or other bad things. ” She didn't answer. But when I said it,I didn't feel right.
Three days later,I was 8 to pick up my daughter from school. A man was standing on the corner and something deep inside 9 me to help him. So I stopped my car,and he ran over with enthusiasm. He said, "God bless you. I only need 77cents. ” I reached into my ashtray and it was 10 enough that there was just 77cents.
Greatly shocked by this coincidence (巧合) ，I gave him all the 11 in the ashtray. He burst out with joy and 12 in his eyes, "You have made it 13 for me to see my mom for Christmas!The bus offering this great sale is 14 right away!" It is a moment that I'll never forget. I think that man won't forget it,either,but I am the one who gets the best 15 in my life. It also reminds me that nothing is a coincidence,and everything has its meaning.
