One cold evening, I was waiting outdide for a taxi in New York city. Later, I was 　21　 by a man in his thirties. Obviously, he was angry, complaining how　 22　 New Yorks were. I knew my 　23　 would only be about 10 minutes and a part of me wanted to keep　 24　 　and just move on, but I also wanted to try and connect.

I asked him why. He told me he had just come from JFK airport　 25　 　a custmer, which means $70 in lost fare(车费), a fairly big deal. I tried to share his　 26　 .　 Gradually, he calmed down. He mentioned he had read an article 　　27　 　that the happiest people are those who give.　 28　 ,he hoped to have more chance to 29　 in his life, I was starting to 　　30　 　being with him!

Arriving at my destination , I paid him, giving a generous tip. I also pulled out an extra $20 and said, “Sir, I share the same 　　31　 of giving with you. Here's an extra little bit.　 32　 it ,since you’re alreday　 33　 $70 from JFK. But, if you want to experience the　 34　 of the gift, give it to the next　 35　 .”

For a monment I thought I was so　 36　 ! But the driver　 37　 me by saying, “Sir,　 I have a 　38　 idea. You give that $20 to a homeless person and I will gift the next rider for free.”

It was an honor meeting the driver and learning the lesson of 　　39　 everyone is able to give and surprise　 40　 with their generisity.
