A year ago, August, Dave Fuss lost his job driving a truck for a small company in west Michigan. His wife, Gerrie, was still working in the local school cafeteria, but it was         for Dave to find work, and the price of everything was rising. The Fusses were at the risk of joining the millions of Americans who have        their homes in recent years. Then Dave and Gerrie received a timely        —$7,000, a legacy(遗产) from their neighbors Ish and Arlene Hatch, who died in an accident. “It really made a difference when we were meeting difficulty.” says Dave.
But the Fusses weren’t the only folks in Alto and the neighboring town of Lowell to        unexpected legacy from the Hatches. Dozens of other families were     by what the Hatches had done. In some cases, it was a few thousand dollars; in       , it was more than $100,000.
It        nearly everyone that the Hatches had so much money, more than $3 million—they were an elderly couple who lived in an old house on what was left of the family farm.
Children of the Great Depression, Ish and Arlene were known for their habit of     . They preferred comparison shopping and would go from store to store, checking prices before making a new purchase.
Through the years, the Hatches paid for local children to attend summer camps when their parents couldn’t        it. “Ish and Arlene never asked if you        anything,” says their friend Sandy Van Weelden, “They could see things they could do to make you happier, and they would do them.”
Even more extraordinary was that the Hatches        their farmland. It was the Hatches’ wish that their legacy—a legacy of kindness as much as one of dollars and cents—should        the whole community and last for generations to come.
Neighbors helping neighbors—that was Ish and Arlene Hatch’s story.

Frank laughed as he tried to tear at the wrapping paper on his birthday present. He was so     ! Finally, he would have the coolest pair of name-brand basketball shoes.
All the guys on his team were wearing the name-brand shoes of a popular basketball   _, Chuck Hart. While Hart was   for his poor sportsmanship and infamous   , he was a great player. In fact, Frank wasn't thinking about Hart’s behavior; he had only expected to see Hart’s      on the side of the box. The first indication that something was      came as he tore away the last piece of paper. Not Hart’s. The new shoes were the name-brand of another player, Robert Ryann, who was      for his amazing work in the community.
Frank’s hands      ; his heart stopped. It wasn't that the Ryann shoes weren’t nice, but what would his friends think ?
They were the wrong shoes and Frank would be      by the other players. When he looked up into his dad’s eyes, however, Frank decided he     not tell him. “Thanks, Dad. I was really hoping for shoes,” Frank said as he pulled the shoes out of the box.
The next morning his dad drove him to school. When they      in front of his destination, Frank slowly opened the car door. Just then, his dad stopped him.
“Hey, Frank, wait a minute, look…” his dad said      ,“Frank, I know those aren’t the shoes you had hoped for, but I saw the names of the two guys and made a(n)     . The guy whose name is on those shoes,” he said, pointing down at Frank’s feet, “is someone I      . Do you know how often Ryann has found himself in     ?”
“No,” Frank said.
“Never. He’s never talked back to his coach or started a fight, and he’s a team player. You could have acted like a (n)      when you didn’t get the shoes you wanted, Frank ,      you were polite and made the best of it. You have such a good      , like the guy whose name is on these shoes. I’m hoping that someday, your name will be on the coolest pair of shoes I’ll ever see.”
When Frank looked down at his feet, he saw the shoes      . His dad had used his mind and heart to give the son a thoughtful      .

I had been playing hockey (冰球)for about 10 years, I was always the one sitting at the end of the bench, and 26 got into a game.I went to all the 27   and showed up even when itwas so 28 that your ‘breath froze’ and whenplayers    had decided to stay home. I feltI had   29   enough and thought of quitting”
I finally decided to  30 the news to my mom that I was leaving the team. My mom may have looked like a tiny and quiet lady but on  31 my words, she said, “Remember, ‘A quitter never wins and a winner never quits.’ Your mother didn’t raise  32 , so think about yourself in a  33 way and see yourself as a winner!” So I worked harder than ever at getting in better shape,  34 my shot accuracy and changing my  35 .
Once in a match, we  36 our first game badly. What’s worse, one of our best players got hurt. I was sitting at my  37 place, at the end of the bench, when the coach came over and told me I was going  38 . I was nervous, excited and terrified all at the same time.
The opposing team was fast and I had to admit I was a little  39 .  But my mom’s words   40 out in my head like a church bell. Instead of being afraid, I was “pumped” and I very quickly found that all my  41 work was paying off.  I was as fast a skater as anyone else on the ice, and I seemed to get the   42  to score. The crowd went quiet.  All the time I spent on the ice when everyone had gone home had 43 me for this moment.
Won! I won!
The lesson I learned from my mom’s  44 has stayed with me over the years. I hear them whenever I am faced with a challenge, or whenever I  45 myself.
