At first I thought she was trying to keep 12 against the biting wind. But she wasn`t. She was moving in time to a 13 . I couldn't hear her, but I could see her lips moving. When I got closer, I saw a white 14 hanging from her elbow and noticed that she had sunken eyes. She was 15 , dirty and living on streets. I came closer and through the 16 of the traffic I could hear her 17 the immortal (不朽的) line,"…And I think to myself, what a wonderful world!". I bought her last magazine for twice what I'd originally 18 . She thanked me, and 19 her belongings and went tapping off along the pavement -still singing!
