This was an unforgettable and wonderful experience．It happened about three years ago and it has had a  1  effect on me．I would like to show respect here for the two men I do not know  2  but whose actions gave a new  3  to the words --kind and generous．

I was walking down a busy street on a cold, windy day in early  4  ．A homeless man, probably about 60 without any shoes , was  5  for change on a street corner．

       A BMW car  6  on the other side of the street and an executive（主管）who was perfectly dressed stepped out of the car．He was probably about 60 years old．He was  7   a blue business suit with a deep red silk tie．He walked  8  across the street and over to the homeless man．Without saying anything, he first gave him a lot of  9 and then he sat down and took off his leather gloves（手套）, beautiful black leather shoes and his black dress socks．Then he    10  them to the homeless man．The homeless man took them and stared with a/an  11 mouth．

       As he drove off, I couldn’t   12  thinking that it was probably the first time he had  13  the pedal（踏板）of that top-brand BMW car with a   14   foot! I stood there and the looks of   15  appeared on my face and the homeless man’s．

       Two men of about the same age  16  very different lives had met and the one who was  17  in materials had offered  18  than his shoes．He had left this BMW car and   19  down from his high position．He lifted up the other man when he offered respect,   20 and real generosity．

I’ll never forget my first daughter, who died too early from a bad accident. During those years, life was   36  . One Christmas I found my 3-year-old daughter   37  with a roll of golden wrapping paper. I had bought the paper to finish a rather important project. So I became   38  and scolded her loudly, “You are not good. And you are   39  your father’s money. You don’t know how hard your parents are working.” She was   40  and cried bitterly, running away.

    41 , she brought a gift, a golden   42  made of golden wrapping paper to me the next morning and said, “This is for you, Daddy.” I was   43  of my earlier hurting words, but my anger rose again when I found out the box was   44 . I shouted at her, “Don’t you know, when you give someone a present, there is supposed to be something inside?” She   45  at me with tears in her eyes and cried, “Oh, Daddy, it’s not empty at all. I blew   46  into the box. They’re all for you, Daddy.”

I was completely   47 . I put my arms around her and begged for her   48 . A year later, a serious   49  took the life of my daughter. I was so sad that I   50  in bed for three days and three nights, saying nothing with tears rolling down my cheek. From then on, I hated cars and kept the golden box by my bed for many years. Whenever I was   51  , I would take out an imaginary kiss and   52  the love of my daughter who had put it there.

In a very real   53  , each one of us, as humans beings, has been given a golden container   54  with unconditional love and kisses ... from our children, family members, friends, and God. There are   55  no other possessions that anyone could hold more precious than this.
