One day  5  I was working,I saw an old man come in with a little girl  6  a wheelchair (轮椅).As I  7  this girl carefully,I found that she had no arms  8  legs.She was wearing a little white dress and she  9  had a hat on.

As the old man pushed the wheelchair up to me,I was busy with my work.I  10  my head toward the girl and gave her a wink(眨眼).When I took the money from her grandfather,I looked back at the girl, who was giving me the prettiest,largest smile I have  11  seen.Suddenly her handicap(生理缺陷)  12  and all I saw was this beautiful girl,whose smile almost gave me a  13  understanding of what life is all about.She elude me realize the  14  of smiles,love and warmth   

I’m now a successful businessman and  15 I get down and think about the trouble of the world.I think about that little girl and the unforgettable lesson about life that she taught me.

In Europe many people died during the Second World War.As a result,at the end of the war there were many orphans(孤儿)there.A man called Hermann Gmeiner wanted to help these children.His idea was simple.He wanted orphans to have a home,and he wanted them to have the care and kindness of parents.Gmeiner asked people to give him some money.With this money he built the first SOS Children's Village at Imst,in Austria.It opened in 1949.This is how the SOS stand for“Save Our Souls(灵魂)”An SOS Children's Village gives help to orphans.

  Hermann Gmeiner's idea for helping orphans soon spread(传播)all over the world.By 1983 there were 170 SOS Children's Villages in the world.People in many countries give money to help the villages.Today the children from the first village have grown up.Now some of them work in other SOS Children's Villages.

In SOS Villages orphans live in family groups.There are several houses in each village.The biggest village has 40 or 50 houses! Between seven and ten children live in a house.A woman lives with each group of children and looks after them.She gives the children a lot of love and kindness.She cooks meals for them and makes comfortable, happy home for them.
