17.Last December,just a week before Christmas,I went to a local KMart store to pick up my layaway(预付定金购物).Upon reaching the counter,I (41)handed the clerk my layaway receipts and told her I was there to pay off the balance and take the (42)goods home with me.She grabbed my receipts,and kept messing with the computer (43)asif something was wrong.I felt a little uneasy.I was(44)expecting her to tell me my layaway had been misplaced or something of the sort.(45)Finally,after about ten minutes,she said."Oh,that's why I can't find it in our(46)system.You should have (47)receiveda phone call a few days ago that your layaway was paid off by a(n) (48)secretSanta."I couldn't believe what I was hearing!This kind of story only happens in the(49)news.Why was my family(50)chosento receive such a blessing?
Immediately I asked the cashier if there was a (51)way that I could leave something for the Santa (52)inreturnfor his random act of kindness,but she said that the individual wanted to (53)remaincompletely unknown.It definitely(54)touchedmy heart.However.I felt kind of (55)bad.I kept thinking that perhaps some family out there was not going to have a Christmas because they really couldn't (56)affordto pick up their layaway.
I decided to pay it (57)forward,so I used the money I had for the balance on my account to purchase some(58)toysand on my way out,I gladly (59)dropped them off inside a huge toy donation box.Since I had received such a nice,heart warming gesture from someone,I wanted to keep the (60)kindness going.And it felt nice to receive and to be able to give right back.
