I’m still able to teach my class, and able to arrange for a tow truck to meet me.’ The headmaster’s eyes were  47   open and then she smiled.”

A lesson in caring

It was a cold evening. My daughter and I were walking up Broadway. I didn’t notice a guy sitting inside a cardboard box. But Nora    36    . She wasn’t even four, but she   37    at my coat and said, “That man’s cold. Daddy, can we take him home?”

    I don’t remember my   38    . But I do remember a sudden   39    feeling inside me. I had always been delighted at how much my daughter noticed in her   40     , whether it was     41    flying or children playing. But now she was noticing   42    and beggary.

    A few days later, I saw an article in the newspaper about volunteers who picked up a food package from a nearby school on a Sunday morning and   43     it to an elderly person. It was quick and easy. I signed us up. Nora was   44    about it. She could understand the importance of food, so she could easily see how   45    our job was. When Sunday came, she was ready, but I had to    46    myself to leave the house to fetch the food package. On my way to the school, I fought an urge (强烈愿望) to turn    47    . The Sunday paper and coffee were waiting for me at home. Why do this?   48    , we phoned the elderly person we’d been appointed. She   49    us right over.

    The building was in a bad state. Facing us was a silver-haired woman in an old dress. She took the package and asked us to come in. Nora ran inside. I unwillingly followed.   50     inside, I saw that the department belonged to someone poor. Our hostess showed us some photos. Nora played and when it came time to say goodbye, we three hugged. I walked home    51    .

Professionals call such a(n)   52    “a volunteer opportunity”. They are opportunities and I’ve come to see. Where else but as volunteers do you have the opportunity to do something    53     that’s good for others as well as for yourself? Nora and I regularly serve meals to needy people and   54     clothes for the homeless. Yet, as I’ve    55     her grow over these past four years, I still wonder—which of us has benefited more?

The Blind Boy

A blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a    11       which said: I am blind, please help. There were only a few    12   in the hat.

A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his    13    and dropped them into the hat. He    14    took the sign, turned it around and wrote some words. He    15    the sign so that everyone who walked by would see the new words.

Soon the hat began to    16   . A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy.

That afternoon the man who had     17    the sign came to see how things were. The boy     18     his footsteps and asked, “Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?”

The man said: “I only wrote the truth. I said what you said in a different way, though.” What he had written was: “Today is a (n)    19    day and I cannot see it.”

Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing?

Of course both sign simply said the boy was blind. But the first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign told people they were so    20    that they were not blind.

       Should we be surprised that the second sign was more    21    ?

Be thankful for what you have. When life gives you 100 reasons to cry, show life that you have 1,000 reasons to    22   . Face your past without regret(后悔).    23    your present with confidence(自信). Prepare for the    24    without fear. Keep the faith（信念）and    25  the fear.
