Last night, I was waiting for a taxi．After 5 minutes, I was 1 ．The driver seemed to be angry．I asked him what the 2 was．He said he had just come from the airport without a 3 , which was basically ＄70 in lost fare．
Over the course of that ride, the anger slowly 4 ．He mentioned he had read an article saying the 5 people are the ones that give, so he hoped he'd have more 6 to give in his life．I was starting to 7 being with him! We continued talking about why 8 is so beneficial both to the giver and the receiver and different ways to 9 it．
As we arrived at my destination, I 10 my fare．But I pulled out an extra ＄20 and said, “Since we've been talking about giving this whole time, I wanted to share that 11 with you．I've already paid my fare, but here's an extra little bit．You can 12 it, since you're already down ＄70 from the airport．But if you want to experience the 13 of the gift, then tell the next passenger in this taxi that their ride is a gift from another and they can 14 their gratitude in whatever way．”
The man turned toward me, tears in his eyes, and said, “Sir, I have a better 15 ．You give that ＄20 to a 16 person around here and I'll treat the next passenger with a 17 ride myself．”
Wow．This man was 18 10 minutes ago．I got out and walked around trying to find someone who needed help 19 heading to my destination．
It was an honor meeting that driver and 20 the lesson of how everyone is capable of giving．
Recently, I flew to Las Vegas to attend a meeting．As we were about to arrive, the pilot announced with apology that there would be a slight 1 before setting down．High desert winds had 2 the airport to close all but one runway．He said that we would be 3 L the city for a few minutes waiting to 4 We were also told to remain in our seats meanwhile with our seat belts fastened 5 there might be a few bumps(颠簸)．Well, that few minutes turned into about four－five minutes, including a ride that would make a roller coaster(过山车) 6 by comparison
The movement was so fierce that several passengers felt 7 and had to use airsickness bags．As you might guess, that's not good thing to have happen in a(n) 8 space because it only 9 to increase the discomfort of the situation．
About twenty minutes into the adventure, the entire airplane became very 10 ．
There was now a sense of anxiety and fear that could be 11 noticed．Every passenger simply held on for dear life…except one．A 12 was having a good time!With each bump of the 13 !he would let out a giggle(咯咯的笑)of delight As I observed this, I 14 that he didn't know he was supposed to be afraid and worried about his 15 He neither thought about the past nor about the future Those are what we grown－ups have learned from 16 ．He was 17 the ride because had not yet been taught to fear it．Having understood this, I took a deep breath and 18 back into my seat, pretending I was 19 on a roller coaster．I smiled for the rest of the flight．I even 20 to giggle once or twice, much to the chagrin(随恼)of the man sitting next to me holding the airsickness bag．
