Sometimes, he would 　　50　　 one of his kids. In certain instances, he would give ___51___　 　　to the sad parents of these children.

One of his kids was a girl who had been admitted with a 　　52　　 disease that paralyzed

(使…瘫痪) her from the neck down. I don’t know the　 　53　　 of the disease, but I do know that it was very sad for a little girl. My dad decided to try to help her. He started 　　54__　 her in her room, bringing paints, brushes and paper. He stood the paper up 　　55　 　a backing, put the paintbrush in his mouth and began to paint. He didn’t use his hands at all. Only his 　　56　 　would move. He would visit her 　　57　 　he could and paint for her. All the while he would tell her, “see, you can do 　　58　 　you set your mind to.”
