It’s easy to see how to help some people, but what about those whose needs are not so obvious? This story may have happened a while back ---but it was a　 36　

which has stayed with me and helped me ever since.

It was Thanksgiving Day and I was 37　 with my parents at a shelter centre for the needy. Standing behind the counter, we 38　 hot food to whoever came in. Most of the people who came here looked like they had been　 39　 hard times. Their clothes were so worn-out, and they were so dirty. In short, they looked needy!

Then, a man came in , who looked 40 but needy. He was well dressed, for he wore an expensive suit. I wondered what he was doing there and my jaw dropped in 41　 when he joined the line for food. The closer he came to my service station, the more I 　42　 in a low voice. I wanted to know what this man was doing. 43　

he wasn’t going to take food 44　 for those who were really in need!

　 Then my mother 45　　 took me to one side. She said, “You have 　46　　

that the needs of the people who come here must be purely physical: hunger, lack of

47　 , clothing and so on. And this gentleman doesn’t seem to have any of those

48　 . But what if his needs are 49　 ? What if he needs comfort, friends, or just to be among other human beings?” Her words 50　 me like a ton of bricks! I felt like I should 　51　 to the man ---but I didn’t .

About a week later the shelter centre received a large 　52　 from an anonymous(匿名)source. I can’t help but 　53　 if it came from that man.

Now, whenever I meet someone I remember my mother’s lesson and try to send

kindness and blessings 　54　 what they look like. Needs aren’t always 　55　 .　 But kindness always makes a difference.

One very cold and rainy night in the winter of 2012, my husband and I were in a fast food restaurant. We were about to begin our meal 36 a man walked in. He was completely 37 from the rain and went into the men's room.

I watched him go by, then I said to my husband, "That man must have had nothing to eat in a long time." When the man came out of the men's room, he just 38 himself in a chair, not going anywhere near the food counter. I 39 that he didn't have any money for food and 40 wanted to dry off for a while.

I just couldn't eat my food knowing that someone else was sitting 41 only a few tables away. So, I 42 a $20.00 bill from my shopping money to my husband. "Please get him dinner," I said. "We can do with less money this week."

　 My husband 43 the man and quietly asked if he needed some food. The man 　 44 at us. "A small cup of coffee would be great," he said. "Thank you so much!" He 　45 wasn't going to take advantage of us, but we 46 that he should have a full meal, which he gratefully(感激地) 47 .

　 After he 48 the food, he thanked my husband and my husband said, "No. Thank my 49 . She noticed that you were 50 ."

The man asked me, " 51 did you know I haven't eaten in a long time?" I smiled at him and said nothing , just asking him to 52 the change(零钱) from the $20.00.
