It was very cold outside my car. I
did not want to get out of it 36 we passed by a cafe. Suddenly
I noticed a short old man, covered with some bits of clothes, shaking with the cold.
He was waiting for anyone who would 37 him a coin or a
cup of hot tea.
I asked my 38 to
go over and hand this old man something. He 39 into my
husband’s face, smiled and said, “ 40 .”
I felt so happy and I wished the old man could live 41 the
cold night.
I was sure to meet him again and
find out how he was the next 42 , as I have to pass this
way every day. I did so the next evening, and he remembered the 43
and came up to my window and 44 at me. This
time I offered him a 45 of food. He reached out for
the bag and I gave him my hand. He 46 food, smiled and said,
“May God bless you.”
I looked at the old man and he 47 me think of my
father.”
I do hope all of us will remember
that maybe one day, it could _48___to one of us, 49 please
do not pass by a 5 0 person without offering at least
a word of love and a kind smile or an act of kindness of any kind.
