I remember one Thanksgiving when our family had no money and no food, and someone came knocking on our door．A man was 1 there with a huge box of food, some fruit, a giant turkey and even some 2 to cook it in．I couldn’t believe it．My dad 3 , “Who are you? Where are you from?”
The stranger replied, “I'm here 4 a friend of yours knows you’re in 5 and that you wouldn’t accept 6 help, so I've brought this for you．Have a great Thanksgiving．”
My father said, “No, no, we 7 not accept this．” The stranger replied “You don’t have a/an 8 ．”closed the door and left．
9 that experience had a deep effect 10 my life．I promised myself that someday I would 11 well enough financially so that I could do the 12 thing for other people．By the time I was eighteen I had become successful in my business and created my Thanksgiving practice．I like to do things spontaneously(即性地), so I would go out 13 and buy enough food for one or two families．Then I would 14 like a delivery boy, take the food, go to the 15 neighborhood and just knock on a door．I always include a note that 16 my Thanksgiving experience as a kid．The note 17 , “That you take good enough care of yourself is all that I ask in 18 so that someday you can do the same thing for 19 else．”I’ve received more from this annual practice than I 20 from any amount of money I've ever earned．
