There were about fifteen of us drawing and writing with chalk(粉笔) to spread hopeful messages in front of a railway station. We? 1 with only about ten adventurers but as the momentum(动力)? 2 , we gained more energy, creative inspiration, and people. In the beginning, many people stopped? 3 because they were curious about our actions. Later when we went on to chalk up some? 4 colors and phrases on the floor, more people came over to see what we were? 5 doing.I wrote on the floor, “Hope: there is nothing stopping you.”?

One particular man came out of the station,? 6 as if he had a tiring day. Although it was crowded, he 7 to get close to us to read the writing on the floor. He had a 8 on his face. He was looking carefully and nodding his head. He seemed very interested, so I went over to him and asked him to join us. The natural 9 of most people who passed by, including him, was, “No, I don^,t have 10 . I have other plans this evening. Thank you so much.” I left him with a choice, “Well, it?s up to you.” Then I continued to chalk up on the floor.?

About fifteen minutes later, I 11 and found he was still around, clearly attracted by us. He talked to someone on the phone, and I supposed he was 12 his plans for the evening, He then came over and said, “I think I do have a 13 to spread after all.”?

I gave him a piece of chalk and he 14 his own chalking spirit. Now, what is yours? Get a piece of chalk and 15 the chalking spirit from one to another today!?

Signs can sometimes be seen at the entrance of a house, expressing that a tramp has passed. This special sign-language is frequently 　1 by tramps to inform their 2 whether the host of a certain house is friendly or unfriendly, and to 3 them the trouble of making unnecessary calls.

　　 Quite 4 one day, I came across a real tramp. He was such a rare sight these days that I stood some distance away and watched him. He was dressed just as a tramp should be　 5 , old worn trousers, and a jacket many sizes too big for him. On his head there was a battered old hat and his boots were so old and worn; they were almost coming into 　6 . But the man himself looked cheerful as if he had not a 　7 in the world. He rubbed his nose with his forefinger, 8 a funny turn, laid a small parcel by the front gate, and began 　9 a sign made by a former caller. Although the sign was meaningless to me, it must have been 　10 , for the tramp’s face lit up with 11 . He entered the front gate confidently and rang the bell.

I felt 14 for him as he walked 　15 out of the house, But just as quickly, his face lit up again and he moved quickly towards the gate. There he stopped, looked at the sign, and 　16 his head seriously as if he had made a bad mistake. 　17 deeply into his pockets, he produced a piece of chalk, rubbed out the 18 sign and made a new one in its place. He stared at it for a moment smiling to himself, then gathered his 19 , pushed back his hat and began walking towards the next house at an unhurried 20 , whistling as he went along.
