As a young boy my family was very poor. I would often help do something for the neighbors to   16   a little pocket money.

    One day I   17   at the door of an elderly woman and asked  18   she needed me to clean the yard. She asked why I was not in   19   and I showed her my worn   20  , which no longer kept me warm. She  21   me to work in the yard. When I finished, she looked at me and said, “I suppose you want to be   22   now.” She then   23   a jar filled with dollar bills and said, “I’m glad you’ve done a   24   job today but that is not something you should be doing again. I want you to   25   new clothes and get back to school. I also want you to come back to   26    me with your report card, and I will   27   you when I see you have worked hard and got some good marks. Now  28   your little hands and take out as much   29   as you can.”

    I put my hands in the jar and grabbed (抓住) so much money that it was  30   for me to buy what I   31  needed. Later, I returned several times to see the woman and she did just as she   32  . She looked at my report card and gave me a handful of dollars and some delicious food every time I  33   her that I had an “A”.

I was twelve years old when I moved from that neighborhood. I will never forget the big   34   this wonderful lady made to my life with her  35  . This is something I hope to do myself in this lifetime over and over again.

　　I'd meant to go to Miros that day. I'd packed my bag and was ready. The motor-boat 1 in on time. The sky was cloudy, but the wind wasn't too strong for the two-hour 2 . I stood at my window, staring at the boat. Then I lost 3 of her, an old light-house partly blocking my view of the harbour(港口). A dozen passengers were 4 their way there. I was about to join them when a man's face 5 at the light-house window.

　　This was strange, because the light-house had been empty, unused and 6 for thirty years. It was stranger still, because I'd seen that 7 before. I couldn't place it but it was, or had once been, familiar to me. I opened my window and 8 across.

　　“I know we've met before, but I can't remember where.”

　　I 9 him to open his window if he could and answer me. He did neither. The face behind the glass 10 motionless(没有表情). Seeing him more clearly now, I knew he was not looking at me. He seemed to be looking upwards, 11 the clouds. How well I had known that face, sometime, somewhere!

　　I 12 again.“We met years ago. Was it in Athens in the 1950s? I used to live in Plaka.”

　　He didn't reply nor give any 13 that he'd heard. I went back further, to 14 I was in the navy (海军).“Perhaps we met at sea during the war,”and that thought at once 15 him to mind. Commander Leftis! He was Commander Leftis of course! How could I have forgotten? I'd saved his life once. But surely he…

　　The motor-boat 16 her bell. I turned my eyes. The wind had risen, but she was pulling 17 . Laughing, I called,“Now I've missed her, and it's your 18 , Commander!”

　　As the boat drew away, the face at the window faded. 19 minute it was there, looking up. I could see the whites of the eyes. The 20 it was gone.

　　Well, I didn't rush to the light-house. I knew that Leftis was dead. He died at sea in 1963 or' 64. But there's one other thing I ought to tell you: the motor-boat never reached Miros. It was lost in a storm, with all the passengers.
