No one seemed to__11__giving me a handful of rice，even__12__they had little themselves.On Sunday，I would go to the__13__and give my handfuls of rice to the monks to__14__to the children.

One day，I came to a house that had__15__to give.I told my story and asked if I could be their bird.The woman called her daughters，and__16__gave me fifty cents，as well as the handful of rice！I began to ask for__17__and rice from the other “bird feeders”，and they gave them to me.Everyone was happy to be helping those who were suffering，even__18__only this small way.The temple was soon able to help everyone who came to them for food and clothing.

“Consider me your bird.” My__19__idea had not stopped the war，but anyway，it was__20__some peace.
