rewards of unselfish service.

The crew in trouble 22 the SOS. The captain of the rescue rowboat team 23 the alarm and the villagers 24 in the town square overlooking the sea. When the team started their rowboat fought their way through the wild waves, the villagers waited 25 on the beach, holding lamps to 26 the way back.
An hour later, the rescue boat reappeared through the fog and the 27 villagers ran to greet them. Falling 28 on the sand, the volunteers reported that the rescue boat could not hold any more 29 and they had to leave one man behind. Even one more passenger would have surely 30 the rescue boat and all would have been lost.
31 , the captain called for another volunteer team to 32 the survivor. Sixteen
-year-old Hans stepped forward. His mother grabbed his arm, crying, "please don't go. Your father 33 in a shipwreck (船只失事) 10 years ago and your elder brother, Paul, has been lost 34 for three weeks. Hans, you are all I have left."
Hans replied, "Mother, I have to go. 35 everyone said I can't go, let someone else do it? Mother, this time I have to do my duty. When the call for service 36 , we all need to take our turn and do our part. Hans kissed his mother, joined the team and 37 into the night. "
Another hour passed, which seemed to Hans' mother like a century. 38 the rescue boat dashed through the fog with Hans standing up in the bow. 39 his hands, the captain called, "did you find the lost man?" 40 able to control himself, Hans excitedly cried back, "Yes, we found him.
