Even though it was only October, my students were already whispering about Christmas plans. With each passing day everyone became more  31  , waiting for the final school bell. Upon its  32  everyone would run for their coats and go home, everyone except David.

But something made David 35 . I can still remember he was always  36  a smile and willing to help. He always  37  after school to straighten chairs and mop the floor. We never talked much. He  38  just simply smile and ask what else he could do, then thank me for letting him stay and slowly  39  home.

Weeks passed and the  40  over the coming Christmas grew into restlessness until the last day of  41  before the holiday break. I smiled in  42  as the last of them hurried out the door. Turning around I saw David  43  standing by my desk.
