A man was driving at 70 miles in a 40-mile zone, when a 　36　 　came behind him. Right away the man started thinking of 　37　 　to give.

　　　 As the policeman came to him, he said, “Hi, officer, I guess you　 38　 　me a little bit over the speed limit. I was in a rush to get 　39 　, to be with my wife and kids. You know my younger son wasn’t feeling too　 40　 　when I left home this morning. I’m afraid he’s ill.”

　　　 The policeman said, “Well, I guess so,” and started 　41　 　something in his notebook. As minutes went by, he could see from the side view mirror, the police-man was　 42　 　writing. When the man was wondering why he hadn’t asked for his driving 　43　 　so far, the policeman came to his window, 　44　 　him a piece of paper, and returned to his car without saying a single word. The man wondered: how much was this　 45　 　going to be? However, the man was　 46　 　it was not a ticket at all and he began to　 47 　:

　　　 “I had a daughter who was 　48　 　by a speeding car at the age of six by a speeding driver. He got a fine, a few months in 　49 　, and then was free, free to hug his two daughters. I only had one, and now I have to 　50　 　until I get to heaven before I can hug her again. I have tried to　 51　 　that man a thousand times, and I thought I had. Maybe I really did forgive (原谅) him. So pray (祈祷) for me, and be　 52　 when you drive again. My son is all I have been left with.”

　　　 The man was completely 　53　 　and could not move for the next few minutes. When finally he did, he drove 　54　 , even a few miles　 55　 the speed limit, praying for forgiveness.
