A few years ago, when I was about 14,I went out for a walk 31  a rainy summer day. I saw a man 32 small, dirty colthes. He had 33umbrella, and he was picking bottles out of bushes. When he found 34 ,he smiled and put it in his big bag. I thought,“I wish there 35 some way to help him. Well, I could give him my umbrella.” Then I walked to him 36 gave the umbrella to him.“You need this more than I 37 .” The man took it with 38 big smile on his face and said,“Thank you! Thank you!” And then I walked away 39 good, I turned around and saw him 40a lot more, even though he was still picking bottles from bushes. “It was just an umbrella.” I thought, not 41 that it was the kindness 42 made him happy.
A few weeks later I was walking on a sunny day, and 43 the same man with the same clothes, 44 the same big bag 45 of bottles. The only 46 was that my umbrella was right in the corner, looking47 he cherished（爱护） it. It was so clean.
It didn’t 48 that I couldn’t give the man a house and a job and I only did I was able to do. But 50made someone else happier, so that was enough.

One evening, a passer- by asked to  18 for the night. Seeing that he had an  19 face, she let him in and gave him a nice   20  .

One day another man    28  her door. This one did not look trustworthy to her,   29  she asked who he was . “I am Death, I’ve come to take you   30    me.” said he.
Thinking fast Aunty Misery said, “Fine, but I’d like to  31   some pears from my dear tree to remember the  32 it brought to me in this life. But I am too    33  to climb high to get the best fruit. Will you be so   34   as to do it for me?” With a deep sigh, Mr. Death climbed up the tree   35  and was immediately stuck to it. No matter how much he warned or begged, Aunty Misery would not allow the tree to let Death go.
