It’s easy to see how to help some people, but what about those whose needs are not so obvious? This story may have happened a while back ---but it was a 36
which has stayed with me and helped me ever since.
It was Thanksgiving Day and I was 37 with my parents at a shelter centre for the needy. Standing behind the counter, we 38 hot food to whoever came in. Most of the people who came here looked like they had been 39 hard times. Their clothes were so worn-out, and they were so dirty. In short, they looked needy!
Then, a man came in , who looked 40 but needy. He was well dressed, for he wore an expensive suit. I wondered what he was doing there and my jaw dropped in 41 when he joined the line for food. The closer he came to my service station, the more I 42 in a low voice. I wanted to know what this man was doing. 43
he wasn’t going to take food 44 for those who were really in need!
Then my mother 45 took me to one side. She said, “You have 46
that the needs of the people who come here must be purely physical: hunger, lack of
47 , clothing and so on. And this gentleman doesn’t seem to have any of those
48 . But what if his needs are 49 ? What if he needs comfort, friends, or just to be among other human beings?” Her words 50 me like a ton of bricks! I felt like I should 51 to the man ---but I didn’t .
About a week later the shelter centre received a large 52 from an anonymous(匿名)source. I can’t help but 53 if it came from that man.
Now, whenever I meet someone I remember my mother’s lesson and try to send
kindness and blessings 54 what they look like. Needs aren’t always 55 . But kindness always makes a difference.

I opened it to see a truly terrible-looking man."Why, he's hardly taller than my eight-year-old," I thought as I
stared at the stooped (弯腰屈背的) body.
Yet his voice was pleasant as he said,"Good evening. I've come to see if you've a room for just one night.
I came here for a treatment this morning form the eastern shore, and there's no bus till morning." He told me
he'd been hunting for a room since noon but with no success. No one seemed to have a room."I guess it's my
face. I know it looks terrible, but my doctor says with a few more treatments…"
I told him I would find him a bed. I went inside and finished getting supper. When I was ready, I asked the
old man if he would join me. "No, thank you. I have plenty." And he help up a brown paper bag.
When I had finished the dishes, I went out on the porch (走廊) to talk with him for a few minutes. It didn't
take a long time to see that this old man had an oversized heart crowded into that tiny body. He told me he
fished for a living to support his daughter, her five children, and her husband, who lost his legs in a car
accident.
At bedtime, I put a bed in the children's room for him. When I got up in the morning,the bed linens (床单)
were neatly folded and the little man was out on the porch. He refused breakfast, but just before he left for his
bus, haltingly (犹豫不决地), as if asking a great favor, he said,"Could I come back and stay the next time I
have a treatment? I can sleep fine in a chair." I told him he was welcome to come again.
