As I was driving out of the store parking lot, they crossed in front of me．My first reaction was filled with 36 at being delayed for a whole ten seconds．But I quickly became 37 when I realized that it was an elderly 38 ．
The man leaned on his 39 who walked in front of him．He not only used her for 40 but it was obvious that he was blind．The two of them _41 as one—each needing the other to 42 in this fast-changing world．
That little example of true strength 43 my whole personal perception(理解) of life that day．Suddenly I wasn’t so 44 having to work a few extra hours on Saturdays．I had my 45 ，and I was still 46 young．
That picture of those two elderly people walking with dignity(尊严) and strength 47 me the entire week．My 48 wasn’t so bad after all．I had my health and a good job．I had a wonderful， 49 wife．I started to think—not only was I 50 to have these all, but so was that wonderful old couple，who，_51 the trials and sufferings of a long life，still had the love and support of each other to 52 them through this world．
There are so many people out there just like that couple．My wife and I sometimes 53 ourselves in our old age, walking arm in arm into the sunset. That image always gives us a 54 feeling．Just remember, none of us would be here if it wasn’t for our elders．We all should spend a little extra time and patience, 55 helping our elder friends．

The hardworking blacksmith Jones used to work all day in his shop and so hard-working was he that at times he would make the sparks(火星) fly from his hammer.
The son of Mr.Smith, a rich neighbour, used to come to see the blacksmith every day and for hours and hours he would enjoy himself watching how the tradesman worked.
“ Young man, why don’t you try your hand to learn to make shoe tacks (钉) , even if it is only to pass the time ? ” said the blacksmith. “ Who knows, one day, it may be of use to you .”
The lazy boy began to see what he could do. But after a little practice he found that he was becoming very skilled and soon he was making some of the finest tacks.
Old Mr. Smith died and the son on account of the war lost all his goods. He had to leave home and was forced to live in another country. It so happened that in this village there were many shoemakers who were spending a lot of money buying tacks for their shoes and even at times when they paid high prices they were not always able to get what they wanted, because in that part of the country there was a high demand for soldiers’ shoes.
Our young Mr. Smith, who was finding it difficult to earn his daily bread, remembered that once upon a time he had learned the art of making tacks and had the sudden idea of making a bargain with the shoemakers. He told them that he would make the tacks if they would help to get him settled in the workshop. The shoemakers were only too glad of the offer. And after a while, Mr. Smith found that he was soon making the finest tacks in the village.
“ How funny it seems, ” he used to say, “ even making tacks can make money. My trade is more useful to me than all my former riches.”
