When I was twelve years old. I went with my dad to his work—a car showroom. I was 21 around carelessly and saw a poor woman with a child beside her 22 outside the showroom. I saw that she was crying and went inside to tell my 23 . He went out and 24 the woman to come into the showroom. He offered her some water and then asked her what was 25 .

　 The woman said that her husband had died and she didn’t have anyone else in her family who could 26　 her. she did some manual(体力的) labor to earn some money to 27　 her daughter but she was sick for the last three days and was 28　 to go to work. Now she didn’t have a grain of food to eat. While she was telling this story to my father, she was unable to 　29　 her emotions（情绪）and started crying again. My father and I were deeply 　30　 by her story.

　 We got some food for her and her baby. My father then took them to the nearest hospital for her baby to be 31 as she did not seem to be very well. On the way, we 32 her a 5kg-bag of wheat from the market. My father gave her some money before we left. The lady was so 　33　 .

　 It is eight years later, 34 that event is still very 35　 in my mind. My father’s 　36 to this woman moved me 　37　 and since then, I have decided to try and walk a similar path and serve others. I’m 　38　 to see so many other people in this world are also ready to help others when they meet people 　39 . They have 40　 to walk a service path also.
