One day, three people rushed in and grabbed food off the shelves as fast as they could, 4 not intending to pay for it. He hit the “panic button” and then went over the counter and 5 the front door. It was obvious they were homeless, and equally obvious that they weren’t going 6 with their ill – gotten gains. They 7 the food and simply crowded together in panic – knowing the policed were 8 the way.
Imagine what they must have felt like when they were told they didn’t have to steal if they were that 9 . “We have food in the back, expired （到期） but still 10 to eat. If you need food, you 11 have some.”
They were told to 12 what they had dropped and put it back, then asked to straighten out the mess. They were doing just that 13 the police arrived. The officers were told the situation was under control and the police were no longer 14 .
This wasn’t what they had 15 . They were being treated as human beings who could right the wrong they’d done. Shocked, they quickly followed orders to take turns and use the restroom to clean up.
Soon three 16 people walked out with all the 17 their arms could hold. They wee 18 that, if they needed to come back again, they were to ask and not just grab.
And then the young man went back to reading until the next customer came in. He would be the 19 person in the world to claim he was a hero. But he gave three people something they were in desperate need of – a 20 amount of self – respect and a little bit of hope.

Afraid that her son would be too tired, Ms. Wendy would sometimes tell the boy to skip school, but each time, Fabian would insist on going to school.
“I don’t like it because when I return to school, I don’t know what’s going on,” the 12-year-old boy explained. He suffers for SMA－a neuromuscular（神经肌肉的）disease that leads to weakness in muscles－and gets around in a wheelchair.
Fabian’s determination to excel in his studies was evident when he was disappointed that he got a total score of 236 yesterday in his Primary School Leaving Examination. He was hoping for a score of at least 240, but his mother was full of pride. “I am happy with his results. He’s very motivated,” said Ms. Wendy.
When Fabian was two months old, he was diagnosed with SMA. Ms. Wendy, who used to go to other homes to teach piano lessons, started teaching lessons at home so she could take care of her son. Fabian proved to be a fighter. Ms. Wendy said, “ He would study every day on his own even though he was weak and his spine（脊柱）was already starting to curve quite badly.”
Fabian is also active in the Singapore Disability Sports Council, where he plays boccia（滚球）, a ball sport for those who require a wheelchair due to physical disability.
At just 133cm tall and weighing 14kg, he knows that he will have to rely on others all his life. “I’m afraid that when my parents grow older, they will not be able to carry me and that there will be nobody to carry me,” said Fabian. “But for now, I feel lucky that I get to go out and do a lot of things that I thought I couldn’t.”
His dreams aren’t lofty（崇高的）either－all he want to be able to do is work and provide for his parents. “I just want to study hard so that I can be a businessman, like my dad.” He is planning to apply to study at Victoria School.
