Question

Today, I felt unhappy with my head full of problems, so I decided to take a walk even though I didn’t know where I would go. The most    16    thing happened when I was walking along the street.

I saw an old man, over seventy years old, sitting on a chair. He was a seller of secondhand shoes. He seemed so helpless and nobody was    17     his shoes. Then, a little girl came towards him. I heard the girl say in a/an    18     voice, “Grandfather, may I clean your shoes?” That old man    19     and passed her a shoe. The girl said, “I do this    20    I want to earn some money to buy my brother a new school    21    .”

I heard this and tears came to my eyes. To my    22   , the old man said,” Oh, little girl, just stop doing this. Come with me and I will buy one     23    you.” To see what would happen, I    24   . They walked to a    25     and there the old man    26     gave her a uniform, which must have cost him a lot. The girl was    27     and said, “Thank you so much for doing this. May God bless you.” Then she left, leaving the old man    28    .

As the old man decided to leave, I stopped him and whispered in his ear, “You are really a great hero! Thank you for your    29    !” My own sadness had disappeared. It had been    30     by the light of this moving act. I began to realize that a little act can brighten up someone’s day.
