When I was about 6 years old I lived in Kenya. There was a lot of      and there were always street children on the roads asking for money. There was such a big divide between those children and me and I grew up very aware of being so     .

We had a wonderful and very kind driver, John, who had been working with my     for decades. He used to take us to and from school. One day while we were stopped in traffic a young street child, probably no more than 10 years old,     with a friendly greeting, “Hi, John!”

He      the car and shook John’s hand,. John then gave him a little bit of money and waved him off with a smile before we carried on our way to school.

I had watched the whole incident completely     . John had a large family himself and had to work very hard to make ends     .I knew that he didn’t have any spare money. So, of course, at that age I couldn’t understand why he would be giving money to the child.

“Who was that?” I asked. “My friend,” he replied. “I see him every morning on my way to work and I give him a little bit of money.”        Unable to comprehend, I asked, “Why do you have to give him money every morning?” John replied, “So he can use it to buy some food.”

It was probably at that     that I understood what kindness really was. A person who was in a difficult situation himself still found some money to      for a child who needed it. Even at the age of 6 that had such a great impact on me. I didn’t have any money, but I wanted to      too. So when my grandfather gave us a chocolate bar after dinner every Friday, I would          mine up so I could give it to John to give to his friend.

Just recently I had been wondering if there was much point in doing little acts of kindness. So often they get   36 , and occasionally they come back to bite you!

    Then, just last week, after a long travel, I found myself   37   at a bus station. The bus was four hours late! So, I guess I wasn’t in a good   38  .

    That’s when a woman asked me if I had any spare   39   to help her get a bus ticket.

   “Oh, sure,” I said sarcastically (挖苦地). “How much would you like?”

    As I spoke, I mentally kicked myself for my  40   and reached into my bag for some money. As I handed her five dollars, I heard low sounds from her stomach because of real    41  .

    I reached back into my bag and brought out a   42   I had bought earlier. I handed it to her with a(n)   43   that I hoped would make up for my earlier tone of voice. Getting a   44   look at her now, I realized she was extremely tired, like she had had several months of   45   days!

    As she took the food, a look of   46   washed over her. In return, she tried to give me a Milwaukee bus ticket! I don’t live in Milwaukee and the ticket will probably   47   be used, but I took it.

    A few minutes later she came back over, apologized, and told me she was still  48   of five dollars. I took some singles out of my bag and slipped a twenty in there as well.   49 , the voice in my head told me I was being a fool.

Five minutes later she came back again and tried to   50   my twenty. When I said it was for her so she could get something else to   51 , and that I was completely serious and I wasn’t taking it   52  , she started crying and hugged me.

    From now on, when I wonder if it is   53   trying to help someone, I will remember that woman. Maybe I am really making a   54   for someone. So, sure, sometimes my efforts might not be noticed, and sometimes they might come back to bite me, but they might actually   55   another human being!
