I live in a big city with a lot of homeless people．Luckily there’re small ways of helping them and you needn’t have a lot of 1 ．One way to help is to buy their monthly magazine． 2 doing this one day, I got to 3 a young homeless man．He was often 4 the magazine at the train station．
He was a poor farmer from another country．After a while, I discovered that his 5 was close to mine．It 7 that we were born in the same month．
I met him last year 8 after his birthday, and after congratulating(祝贺)him, without 9 , I asked if he had had a good day．He 10 and said that he hadn’t really celebrated．I felt so 11 ．
I just couldn’t bear the thought of(不敢想)this nice, young man being 12 on his 25th birthday with no presents, no cake, nothing! So I went home and looked in my yarn(纱线)basket． 13 for me, I had enough yarn 14 ．I set to work and knitted(编织)a 15 for the young man．The yarn had become a little dirty 16 I didn’t knit very often．Then I washed the yarn so the scarf would be 17 when he got it．
I met him on my own birthday as I was going shopping．I had 18 to meet him so I had 1 the scarf and a piece of my birthday 19 around with me．He was very happy with these gifts and so was I．The 20 in his eyes was the best present he could given me．
About one year ago, a couple with three children moved into the apartment next door to me．I never heard any noise from the children．Inslead, I often heard the parents yelling l at the kids, not in a nice tone, but in a 2 one．
We often 3 in the hallway．I always greeted them, but the only 4 I ever got was a”hello”from the eight-year-old girl．I usually 5 to see my doctor and one day when I returned they were just 6 their apartment and the little girl was 7 the outside door open for the others．I 8 in the car doing 9 things because 1 wasn’t eager to he snubbed(冷落)again．Finally, I got out of my car and walked towards the door．The parents were telling their daughter to hurry and get into the car, 10 the little girl was still holding the door, 11 me！I hurried althought I was still in pain from my injury．
I forgot to tell her how 12 I was for her kindness．I wrote a note saying how much her act of kindness had 13 an oId man’s heart．
The next day there was a 14 on my door and it was the little girl and her father．She was quite 15 of her behavior and thanked me．Then I noticed her mother standing there too．Her parents 16 me．
From then on when we met in the hallway we always greeted each other, in a friendly 17 ．
Last night there was a heavy snow．I looked out at my ear and 18 how I was goingto keep my doctor’s． 19 because I could only walk for a short time．This morning when I opened the front door, all the snow was removed．
Isn’t it 20 that the small kind act of an 8-year-old girl can changes so many things for the better？It is said that good things come from small acts．
