My son lived in New York. Last winter my husband and I visited him there. One day, while we were walking down the street, my son went to a store to see if there was a _____ he wanted.

It was very cold. I went over to a supermarket to buy some chocolate, but my husband waited outside alone. When I came out, my husband was talking to a homeless man. I saw my husband take off his gloves and hat and ____ them to Frank, the homeless man.

Frank said he had been living in New York before a heavy rainstorm hit the city in the autumn of the year. He lost his ______ in the rainstorm, so he had no place to sleep. He was begging(乞讨)and trying to get $25 to find a cheap hotel where he could sleep for some hours. All he had to keep ______ was a jacket. My husband’s gloves and hat were surprising gifts for him.

After a while, my son came out of the store, and a new coat was in his hand. I asked him what he was going to do with the old one. He said he would ______ keep it. I told him the story and suggested leaving it to Frank. To our great surprise, my son walked up to Frank and gave the new coat to him. Frank asked, “Did you buy this for me?” My son said no, but he wanted Frank to have it. Frank stood there ______ the coat, with tears(泪水)in his eyes. He ______ us with his whole heart. He said he would try to find a job as soon as possible to support himself.

My son couldn’t get the picture of Frank out of his mind. He went home, took out all his clothes that didn’t ____ him, and posted them to a shelter(避难所). He has done this a few times since then.
