19.Last weekend,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)Cother people's cars as well.It was pretty (37)Boutside and I had no plans to (38)Cbeing in the bright sun.She (39)Awanted to give lemonade(柠檬汽水)to passers-by for free.I had seen little kids(40)Dand sell fresh lemonade for a small cost but not free.Although I felt (41)C,I decided to help her.
(42)C she asked me,"What if we (43)C this a smile car wash?"I couldn't hold back my tears and (46)D her and the other kids to go outside the house and come up with (45)A ideas.While I kept myself busy in drying the car,the gang walked up to me with a(n)(46)Awith beautiful images of smiles.They had"Free Car Wash"written on it and the (47)D of their exercise was"smile".It was pretty neat to see a team of kids ranging 5-11years with the (48)B to do something for others.
All that seemed (49)D and came right from their heart.Nothing seemed to (50)A to them:their playtime,the heat outside-they just wanted to(51)C others and do something nice in the community!
I helped them make some fresh lemonade and brought out some additional(52)Bto help clean cars.Passers-by were (53)Band one even shouted back to them saying"God Bless You,my kids…"One of them even tried giving them 5dollars,which they refused.A pretty heartwarming(54)A!
I feel blessed by being(55)D by such wonderful and loving souls.
