Sometimes we need to remind ourselves that thankfulness is indeed a virtue.
—William Bennett
Thanksgiving Day was near. The first grade teacher gave her class a fun 1 to draw a picture of something for which they were thankful.
Most of the class might be considered economically 2, but still many would 3 the holidays with turkeys and other traditional goodies of the season. These, the teacher thought, would be the 4 of most of her students’ art. And they were.
5, Douglas made a different kind of picture. Douglas was a special kind of boy. He was the teacher’s true child of misery, 6 and unhappy. As other children played at break, Douglas was likely to stand close by her side. One could only guess the pain Douglas felt 7 those sad eyes.
Yes, his picture was different. When 8 to draw a picture of something for which he was thankful, he drew a hand. Nothing else. Just a(n) 9 hand.
His abstract image captured the 10 of his classmates, whose hand could it be? One child guessed it was the hand of a farmer, because farmers 11 turkeys. Another suggested a police officer, because the police protect and 12 people. And so the discussion went ---- until the teacher 13 forgot the young artist himself.
When the children had gone on to other tasks, she 14 at Douglas’ desk, bent down, and asked him whose hand it was. The little boy looked away and 15, “It’s yours, teacher.”
She 16 the times she had taken his hand and walked with him here and there, 17 she had other student. How often had she said, “Take your hand, Douglas, we’11 go outside.” Or, “Let me show you how to hold your pencil.” Or, “Let’s do this together.” Douglas was most thankful for his teacher’s hand.
Brushing 18 a tear, she went on with her work.
The story speaks of 19 thankfulness. It says something about teachers teaching and parents parenting and friends showing friendship, and how much it means to the Douglases of the world. They might not always say thanks, but they’11 remember the hand that 20.

It was a warm March evening，and I’d just taken a seat on the bus that would take me home.It was nearly 6：00 PM，but the bus was not yet full and the driver gave no 1that he intended to start the bus.
A middle-aged woman took a seat opposite me . She was crying.Not speaking to anyone in particular，she2told her story.
She had come to the city to visit her daughter.On the way to the terminal(终点站)，a thief had3 one of her bags.It had contained half of the money she’d brought with her.The other half was hidden under her blouse, so she4 still had some money left.The bus conductor，driver，and other passengers listened to her tale.
At this time, an old man5got on the bus.He sat in the seat directly in front of the woman.After a few minutes, all seats were6.The driver started the engine.The bus conductor collected tickets and began asking us where we were7.When he came to the old man’s seat，he became8 and asked the old man whether he had any money.The old man9 that he did not.He explained that he10 all his money this morning when he’d accidentally got on the wrong bus and now he was trying to go home.
Upon hearing this，the bus conductor11 the old man to get off the bus.The old man was almost in tears as he begged the bus conductor to let him take that bus12 he could get home before dark.The bus driver approached the old man，and repeated the conductor’s13 to get off the bus.
“Stop troubling him! Can’t you see he’s only trying to get home?”she interrupted.“He doesn’t have any money!”the driver shouted.“Well, that’s no14 to throw him off the bus,”she insisted.Then she said,“How much is his fare?”The bus conductor mumbled the amount.“Fine.”said the woman.She15 inside her blouse, took out her16 money，and handed the fare to the bus conductor.“Here’s his fare and mine.Just stop giving him a hard time.”
All eyes turned17 the woman，who，just minutes before，had been crying over the money she’d lost.“It’s only money,” she shrugged.
By the time the bus pulled out of the terminal，she had given the old man some bread and a dollar.She rode the rest of the way home18 a Mona Lisa smile of peace and grace，and the money she’d lost19was forgotten.
On the road of life，the politeness and smiles of20 can lighten our loads and lift our spirits.How much sweeter the journey when we make it a little smoother and richer for others !

I returned to Abuja，the capital of Nigeria，after college graduation.I had been there before my mother became a minister.
Two weeks later，I told my mother I was bored.She said，“Here’re the car keys.Go and buy some fruit.”1，I jumped into the car and speeded off.
Seeing me or rather my2，a boy sprang up (跳起来)，3 to sell his bananas and peanuts.“Banana 300 naira.Peanut 200 naira！”
Looking at his black?striped bananas，I4 to 200 total for the fruit and nuts.He5.I handed him a 500 naira note.He didn’t have6，so I told him not to worry.He was7 and smiled a row of perfect teeth.
When，two weeks later，I8 this same boy.I was more aware of my position in Nigerian society.I should9 this country as the son of a10.But it was hard to find pleasure in a place where it was so11 to see a little boy who should have been in school selling fruit.
“What’s up？” I asked.He answered in12 English，“I...I no get money to buy book.”I took out two 500 naira notes.He looked around13 before sticking his hand into the car14 the bills.One thousand naira means a lot to a family that15 only 50,000 each year.
The next morning，security officers told me，“In this place，when you give a little，people think you’re a fountain of opportunity (机会).”
16 it’s right，but this happens everywhere in the world.I wondered if my little friend had actually used the money for17.
After six months’ work in northern Nigeria，I returned and saw him again standing on the road.
“Are you in school now？”
He nodded.
A silence fell as we looked at each other，then I18 what he wanted.I held out a 500 naira note.“Take this.”
He shook his head fiercely and stepped back19 hurt.
“It’s a gift，”I said.
Shaking his head again，he handed me a basket of bananas and peanuts.“I’ve been waiting to20 these to you.”
