Question

Last weekends, my kids along with few other kids from the neighborhood volunteered to help me wash my car．My 10-year-old daughter came up with the idea of  36   other people’s cars as well．It was pretty   37   outside and I had no plans to   38   being in the bright sun．She   39   wanted to give lemonade（柠檬汽水）to passerby for free．I had seen little kids 40  and sell fresh lemonade for a small cost but not free．Although I felt   41  , I decided to help her.

  42   she asked me, “What if we   43   this a smile car wash?” I couldn’t hold back my tears and   44   her and the other kids to go outside the house and come up with   45   ideas．While I kept myself busy in drying the car, the gang walked up to me with a(n)  46    with beautiful images of smiles．They had “Free Car Wash” written on it and the   47   of their exercise was “smile”．It was pretty neat to see a team of kids ranging 5-11 years with the   48    to do something for others.

All that seemed   49   and came right from their heart．Nothing seemed to   50   to them: their playtime, the heat outside—they just wanted to   51  others and do something nice in the community!

I helped them make some fresh lemonade and brought out some additional   52   to help clean cars．Passersby were   53   and one even shouted back to them saying “God Bless You, my kids…” One of them even tried giving them 5 dollars, which they refused．A pretty heartwarming   54   !

I feel blessed by being   55   by such wonderful and loving souls.
