On a cold November afternoon, my mother and I were walking home from a pizza store. We were dressed warmly and equipped with the rented video we had been dying for 　　21　 . I was feeling a little 　22　 , as I was carrying our shopping, bags of snacks and the　 　23　 　.

They were so heavy that I decided to 　24　 　some things. So I started to walk towards the garbage can　 　25　 　I noticed a poor man walking his bike out of the restaurant in front of us. He _26　 　a paper bag with his dirty hand. He headed over to another nearby garbage can and started _27　 　it.

I suddenly felt very 　28　 　because I was about to do away with a new drink just　 　29　 it was heavy. I knew this man would take all he could 　30　 　, so I walked up to him and 　31　 　the drink and some snacks to him. The man looked up　 　32　 　and took what I gave him.

A huge smile spread　 　33　 　his face and this caused me to feel indescribable 　34　 　. I felt like I 　35　 　be happier with myself, but then he said, “This is my son’s lucky day!”

With that, he 　36　 　me happily and started off on his bike. I even heard him 　37　 　a song as he rode away. I got a warm feeling inside and I knew I had done something good for the man and his family. I now understand what is 　　38　 　by the saying “Giving is getting”.

Since then, every time I have the 　　39　 　to do something nice, the picture of the man’s happiness caused by my small gift appears in my mind. This is the 　40　 　of charity.
