More good things come from small things

About a year ago, a couple with three children moved into the apartment next door to me. I never heard any　 36　 from the children, but the parents were always shouting at the kids.

We　 　37　 often in the hallways when we were coming or going. I　 38　 spoke, but the only 　39　 I ever got was a hello from the four – year – old girl.

I usually go out for breakfast and one day when I 　40　 　they were just coming from their apartment and the little girl was holding the door 　41 　for the others. I　 42 　in the car doing unnecessary things because I didn’t like to be snubbed(冷落). The parents were　 　43 　her to hurry and get in the car, I looked up and saw the little girl was 　44　 holding the door open,　 45　 for me.

I hurried as much as I could and 　46　 　her. She was smiling from ear to ear. That afternoon I saw a white toy bear, I 　47　 　the little girl and said to myself, “I 　48 　she would like that” so I bought it. I wrote a note　 49　 　how much her act of kindness had touched a soft spot in an old man’s　 50 　.

The next day there was a 　51　 　on the door and 　52 　was the little girl and her father. She was so proud of her bear and thanked me. Then I　 53　 her mother and the other children were there in the hall too. The mother and father both thanked me.

Now when we meet in the hall we all speak, and in a　 54　 　manner, I might add.　 55　 　time passes, I don’t hear that shouting as often. In fact, hardly at all.
