My friend had mentioned that her father had a lot of children’s toys that he was looking to give away. She knew I had a three-year-old daughter so she thought of me first. I told her I would 36 　it if I could get some nice things for my daughter, which I wouldn’t otherwise have been able

to 　37　 .

When I met her father, he began to explain that he was 38　 once too and that he would hate to 　39　 things that could be very 40　 . At first, he thought of taking everything to the Salvation Army but then he　 41　 to see if anyone he knew could use them first.

　 When he was　 42　 me around, I saw a bed, a slide(滑板)，a kitchen set and many other things that made me surprised. As my eyes were wide and beginning to tear up a bit, he told me not to feel guilty. He said I was　 43　 him by getting rid of them.

　 As I was looking around, I did feel guilty, but I tried to remain more grateful than guilty because he told me to. Every time I tried to　 44　 him for giving my daughter all these　 45　 things, he would thank me right back and was grateful that these toys would be put to good use.

　 So, sometimes when we are helped by others, the others that helped us are helped as a side –effect. In the　 46　 of charity , it makes sense to feel grateful, but guilt is just as normal, I know we could have lived without a slide, which is why I do feel guilty, but I am grateful all the same because my daughter　 47　 enjoys all these nice things!
