There is a small shop about 200 meters from where I live that sells groceries, meat and other basic necessities. About 10 yearsa ago, there was a beggar who would go into the shop every day and ask the owner for a   21 . The owner,  22  he would love to help, simply didn’t have any jobs availabe, so he kept   23  the man’s office.
This situation continued   24  for a few months, until the owner   25  to give the homeless man a job which   26  sweeping outside the shop. Every single day form 5 a.m, the homeless man was there doing the very   27  he could for the   28 , making it the community’s favourite, even though it did earn him pennies.  29 , the owner saw how good a job the man was doing and gave him a job working   30  a cashier(收银员). He was watched closely to make sure that he didn’t   31  any of the money received from the sales. He was still homeless, after all. The homeless man did a/an   32  job as a cashier for over 2 years, and did such a good job that he was promoted to   33  the finances for the whole shop.
To my   34 , this was the arrangements up until 2 years ago, when the owner   35 . In his will, he only had one   36 , to give the whole shop to the now stable, “homeless” man. Now, I could walk into that shop and see him working as hard as   37 , with his own business that is still   38  and active 10 years after getting his job as a sweeper.
