Question

In winter, I often walk in a nearby park during lunch time. The park is ______, as few people have the time to enjoy the winter sun on a weekday. The two people that are often seen are a middle-aged father and his little daughter ______ her school uniform. The father looks like he has all the time in the world—he ______ to hurry along the jogging path; instead he matches his pace with ______ of the little girl. Sometimes they are lying ______ in the sun, laughing and chatting. The man certainly doesn’t look ______. What sort of job can he have that gives him the flexibility to walk in the park in the middle of the day

And today, we ______ sat on the rocks and had a little chat. “You must enjoy the park very much to come here so often,” I said. The father nodded. “How” I asked curiously, “do you ______ to leave your office to be with your daughter every day”
The ______ that the father, Satyendra Dugbey, told me showed me how, if we ______under the surface, even ordinary people’s life can be quite ______.“I used to be no different from any of those thousands of office workers ______ to work every day,” he began. His wife and he were well ______ but rarely managed time off for leisure.

Everything changed after a(n) ______ in which Dugbey was hit by a car. As he lay in hospital, terrifying thoughts came into his mind. “How would my daughter, then only four, remember me if I died that day” “Would my daughter have ______ of being with her father”

The moment he recovered and went back to work, Dugbey took time off at lunch, ______ her daughter from school which was just next door to his working place, and took her to the park.

It was actually a very small change he’d made, he said, but it ______ him every day to see the difference it ______ to his life. “It brings me so much ______ that I can’t believe why others haven’t thought of doing the same thing.” he said simply.

I got up to continue my ______walk, unexpectedly happy after his story.
