For hours I had been traveling up the Nile Valley,from Luxor to Cairo,on a train jammed with Egypt's working poor.

At 1:00 a.m.I__16__Cairo and took a taxi to Tahrir Square.I was__17__and,having been to Cairo before,knew that while most of the city was__18__at this hour,a couple of fast­food restaurants would be open there.

The taxi dropped me__19__across the street from Hardee's.A moment later,just as I was about to__20__the restaurant door,two street children ran towards me with full__21__for food.

Being a veteran(经验丰富的) traveler__22__having once lived in Egypt for a year,I was no stranger to children__23__or people asking me for help.But seldom had I been so__24__by the sincerity of the request.

I turned back to the__25__and asked them to wait while I went inside to buy them food.At the counter I__26__two hamburgers for the boys.

When their food was ready,I walked back__27__and invited them in to eat with me.“No!” they cried__28__.“We do not belong in such a nice place!”

__29__to persuade them otherwise,I brought the__30__out,and as they took the burgers,they showered me with 30 seconds of nonstop__31__,praying that Allah would always bless me.

And this is__32__,five years later,I still ask for God's blessings for those two Egyptian boys.I__33__as sincerely as they had for me,__34__that while they had nothing material to give,they had given me something__35__: an awareness of my spiritual poverty and a desire for a softer heart.
