This happened to me at the age of twelve. It seems like a long time to remember the name of the old lady. Yet it keeps in my 35 that she taught me a lesson in tolerance(宽容) which I shall never forget.
On a winter afternoon, a friend and I were 36 stones onto the roof of the old lady’s house. I found myself a perfectly smooth stone and threw it out. The stone was too smooth, however, so it slipped(滑) from my hands and 37 straight not for the roof but for a small window on the old lady’s back porch(门廊). At the sound of broken 38 , we knew we were in trouble and ran away.
I was too scared(胆怯) about getting caught by the old lady that first night. However, a few days later, when I was sure that I hadn’t been 39 , I started to feel guilty(有罪的) for what I had done. She 40 greeted me with a smile each day when I gave her the newspaper, but I was no longer able to act comfortably.
I made up my mind to 41 for her window with my paper delivery(发送) money I collected. I put the money in an envelope with a note explaining I was 42 for breaking her window and hoped that the seven dollars would cover the cost for repairing it.
I waited 43 it was dark, snuck(悄悄地走) up to the old lady’s house and put the letter I didn’t sign in her door. Once again, I could have the freedom of lookingstraight 44 the old lady’s kind eyes.
The next day, I handed the old lady her paper and was able to return the warm smile that I was 45 from her. She thanked me and gave me a bag of cookies.
Reaching for the cookies, I 46 an envelope and pulled it out of the bag. When I opened the envelope, I was surprised to see the seven dollars and a short note that said, “I’m proud of you!”

An eight-year-old child heard her parents talking about her little brother. All she knew was that he was very sick and they had no money. Only a very expensive operation(手术) could save him now and there was no one to lend them the money.
When she heard her daddy say to her tearful mother， “Only a miracle(something couldn’t happen) can save him now，” the little girl went to her bedroom and pulled her money from its hiding place and counted it carefully.
She hurried to a drugstore(药店)with the money in her hand.
“And what do you want？” asked the salesman. “ It's for my little brother，” the girl answered. “He's really，really sick and I want to buy a miracle. ”
"Pardon？”said the salesman.
“My brother Andrew has something bad growing in-side his head and my daddy says only a miracle can save him. So how much does a miracle cost？”“We don't sell a miracle here，child. I'm sorry，”the salesman said with a smile.
“Listen，if it isn't enough，I can try and get some more. Just tell me how much it costs. ”
A well-dressed man heard it and asked， “What kind of a miracle does your brother need？” “I don't know，” she answered with her eyes full of tears. “He's really sick and mum says he needs an operation. But my daddy can't pay for it， so I have brought all my money. ”
“How much do you have？” asked the man. “$ 1.11， but I can try and get some more，” she answered.
“Well, what luck，”smiled the man. “$ 1.11， the price of a miracle for little brothers. ”
He took up the girl's hand and said， “Take me to where you live. I want to see your brother and meet your parents. Let's see if I have the kind of miracle you need. ”
That well-dressed man was Dr. Carlton Armstrong, a famous doctor. The operation was successful and it wasn't long before Andrew was home again.
