Recently I experienced a wonderful lesson in how little things still mean a lot. I live on the Island of Hawaii. About a month ago, when I    36   my car and was about to drive off, I glanced down at the roadside. A piece of paper   37  my eye. I picked it up and read it   38  . Instantly I was grateful that I had done that.

The form   39  to be a receipt from the State Motor Vehicle Division, documenting the owners’   40   of their Vehicle’s Registration fees. Quickly I put myself in their   41  and figured: no one would throw this away, especially if it was current. I also  42  the form for contact or any   43  data, perhaps a license tag(牌照) or telephone number. But that seemed   44  .

Although the form had been   45  on the wind, where in the busy, crowded parking lot would I find the   46  ? So I checked the date and    47  the names of the owners, who must be in our town. I believed that the best and easiest step to  48  was to put the form in a(n)   49  addressed to the couple and mail it by post. Further, I imagined how frantic (狂乱的) I’d be   50   I had misplaced the receipt. It is much easier to make a(n)   51  to return it than to leave them angry, upset etc. over the  52  , so I did as I thought.

My hunch(预感) was right. On the weekend a happy couple called  53  my house and brought me a big gift. They said they had panicked and searched for the receipt  54    everywhere before giving up. Without it they would lose $8,000. It felt great to know I’d helped someone avoid a major trouble by doing   55  that at first glance seemed minor.
