One day, when I was in high school, I saw a kid named Kyle from my class walking home from school with all his books. I thought to myself, “ 36 would anyone bring home all his books for the weekend? He must really be 37 .”
As I was walking, I saw several kids running toward him. They ran at him, 38 all his books out of his arms and he fell down in the dirt. His glasses went 39 and landed in the grass.
My 40 went out to him. So, I ran over to him. 41 I handed him his glasses, he looked at me and said, “Hey, thanks!”
I helped him pick up his books, and asked him where he lived. As it 42 , he lived near me. We talked all the way home. Over the next four years, Kyle and I became best friends.
Kyle was the 43 student of our class, one of those guys that really found 44 during high school. Therefore he had the honor to prepare a 45 speech. On the graduation day, I could see that he was 46 . So, I patted him on the back and said, “Hey, big guy, you’ll be 47 !” He looked at me and smiled.
He cleared his throat, and began. “Graduation is a time to 48 those who helped you make it through those 49 years. Your parents, your teachers…but mostly your friends. I am here to tell all of you that being a friend to someone is the best 50 you can give him.”
I just looked at my friend with 51 as he told the story of the first day we met. He had planned to 52 himself over the weekend and was carrying his books home. “Thankfully, nothing happened. My friend 53 me from doing the unspeakable(不能说出来的).”
Not until that moment did I realize that you should never underestimate(低估) the 54 of your actions. With one small gesture you can 55 a person’s life. For better or for worse.

Angels
My friend Heather mentioned that she had never seen an Angel. Then I remembered the 36 I had with my sister Sandra earlier this week.
This will be Sandra’s first Christmas without her husband. This summer he died in her arms. On Thursday, she was in the store 37 for an ideal card for her two sons and daughter. Time passed by quickly as she 38 the many choices. She wanted a card that sent something special to each of them, 39 she knew they would have a(n) 40 place in their heart this holiday season.
Finally! She found the one that expressed the 41 feeling. The words expressed the feelings that she wished to share. However, a sharp pain pierced(穿透) her heart when she realized that the card was 42 “mom and dad.” She stood there, 43 it close for a long time, unable to move from the 44 . Tears began to run down her cheeks.
“Is there something I can do for you?” a 45 voice asked. She 46 to face a stranger, a woman, who was looking at her with 47 and concern. “Uh…oh...OH!” Sandra responded, “I can’t give this card to my children because…because my husband died and this is the 48 card.”
Hearing this, the stranger’s face softened with sympathy(同情) and love. She reached out and 49 my sister into her arms, giving her unspoken permission to cry in the protection of her embrace(拥抱). She 50 held my sister until her calmness 51 . “Thank you for listening to me cry on,” was what my sister said when all was better. “You are welcome, and I am so sorry for your 52 ,” the stranger answered and said goodbye to her.
During her telling of this event I was feeling 53 that I hadn’t been there. My sister needed me and a stranger had to do my 54 . “You know,” she went on, “a friend suggested that it was like meeting with an Angel.” My 55 disappeared in an instant. My sister required an Angel, and I think that is exactly what she got.
