As a saying goes, every bean has its black .It is impossible to make no mistakes all one’s life. My grandpa Nybakken, a carpenter，is no _36_．Several decades ago he made a mistake -a(n) perfect mistake, _37_．

    On a cold Saturday, Mother's father was building some wooden cases for the clothes his _38_ was sending to an orphanage（孤儿院）in Africa. On his way home, he _39_ into his shirt pocket to find his glasses, but they were gone. He remembered putting them there that morning, so he drove back to the church. His _40_ proved fruitless.

    When he _41_ replayed his earlier actions, he realized what happened．The glasses had slipped out of his pocket unnoticed and fallen into one of the cases, which he had nailed shut. His brand new glasses, having _42_ him $20 that very morning, were heading for Africa! He had to drive home _43_.

    Several months later, the director of the orphanage came to give a report on Sunday night at my grandfather's church, _44_ Grandpa and his family also attended.

  “But most of all,” he said，“I must thank you for the _45_ you sent last year. You see, the bandits(土匪）had just _46_ through the orphanage, destroying everything, including my glasses. I was desperate.”

“_47_ I had the money, there was simply no way of _48_ those glasses. _49_ not being able to see well, I experienced headaches every day. Then your cases arrived. When my staff _50_ the covers, they found a pair of glasses lying on top.”

    Then, still gripped（吸引注意）with the _51_ of it all, he continued, “ When I tried _52_ the glasses, it was as though they had been made just for me! I want to thank you for being a part of that!”

The people listened，_53_ for the miraculous glasses. But the director surely must have _54  their church with another, they thought. There were no glasses on their _55_ of items to be sent overseas.

    But sitting quietly in the back, with tears streaming down his face, an ordinary carpenter realized the Master Carpenter had used him in an extraordinary way.
