Grandpa worked as a carpenter．One day, he was building some 1 for the clothes his church was 2 to an orphanage(孤儿院)abroad．On his way home, he 3 into his shirt pocket to find his glasses, but they were 4 ．He remembered putting them there that morning, so he drove back to the church．His 5 proved in vain．
Suddenly, he realized what happened．The glasses had slipped out of his pocket unnoticed and 6 into one of the boxes, which he had nailed shut．His brand new glasses were 7 for another country!
The Great Depression was at its height, and Grandpa had six children．He had spent twenty dollars for those glasses that very morning．

I want to thank you for that!”
The people listened, happy for the 17 glasses．But the director surely must have 18 their church with another, they thought．There were no glasses on their list of items to be sent overseas．
