I remember one Thanksgiving when our family had no money and no food, and someone came knocking on our door. A man was  36   there with a huge box of food, a giant turkey and even some  37   to cook it in. I couldn’t   38   it. My dad demanded, “Who are you? Where are you from?”

The stranger announced, “I’m here because a friend of yours knows you’re in need and that you wouldn’t accept   39   help, but I’ve still brought this for you. Have a great Thanksgiving.”

My father said, “No, no, we   40   accept this.” The stranger replied “You don’t have  41   ”, closed the door and left.

Obviously that experience had a profound impact(深刻影响)on my life. I  42   myself that someday I would do well enough financially(财政的)  43   I could do the same thing for other people. By the time I was eighteen I had created my Thanksgiving ritual(习惯). I would go out   44   and buy enough food for one or two  45  .

The note said, “All that I ask for  50  is that you take good enough care of  51   so that someday you can do the same thing for someone else.” I have got more  52   from this annual ritual than that I’ve ever gained.

Years ago I was in New York City with my new wife during Thanksgiving. She was sad because we were not with our family.  53   she would be home decorating the house for Christmas, but we were   54   in a hotel room. When I told her what I always do on Thanksgiving, she got excited.

   We packed enough food for seven families for thirty days and went to buildings where half a dozen people lived in one room with no electricity and no heat in winter surrounded by rats, cockroaches(蟑螂)and the smell of urine(尿). It was both an  55  realization for the people living this way and a truly fulfilling experience to make even a small difference.
