Some people live in the world for body while others for dignity(尊严).
I once took a walk along the street 16 a Saturday dusk, with a Pepsi can in my hand. An old woman in ragged clothes, 17 was living on collecting used cans, jars and tins, moved slowly towards me, with a bag on the back! 18 (walk) nearer, she looked up at me and then fixed her eyes on my can. At that time, I hadn’t finished my cola, so I gave 19 several coins instead.
She stared at me for a few seconds 20 handed back the money. Quite confused, I asked: “Why not? Isn’t that 21 you want?”
“I am not a beggar,” she said 22 (serious), word by word.
Instantly, I felt so sorry. I had intended 23 (help) her, completely misunderstanding her. Thus I hurt her. What I could do at that moment was only to drink up the cola and handed her 24 emptied can. This time, she gave me a smile with 25 (satisfy) and gratitude in her eyes. The woman is poor in material life but is so respectable as a man. I am not only moved but also have learned a good lesson.
