Waiting for the airplane to take off, I was happy to get a seat by myself. Just then, an air hostess approached me and asked, “Would you mind  36  your seat?

But a soft voice spoke, “She needs help.” Finally, I  39  to move to that seat.
The girl was named Kathy. She had been in a car accident and  40  was on her way for  41 .
When the snack and juice arrived, it did not take me long to  42  that Kathy would not be able to  43  herself. I considered  44  to feed her but hesitated, as it seemed too  45  to offer a service to a  46 . But then I realized that Kathy’s need was more  47  than my discomfort. I offered to help her eat, and  48  she was uncomfortable to accept, she  49  as I expected. We became closer and closer in a short period of time. By the end of the five-hour trip, my heart had  50 , and the time was really  51  spent than if I had just sat by myself.
