I remember one Thanksgiving when our family had no money and no food, and someone came knocking on our door. A man was 16 there with a huge box of food, a giant turkey and even some 17 to cook it in. I couldn’t18 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 19 help, so I’ve brought this for you. Have a great Thanksgiving.” My father said, “No, no, we 20 accept this.” The stranger replied, “You don’t have 21” , closed the door and left.

Obviously that experience had a profound impact(深刻影响)on my life. I 22myself that someday I would do well enough financially 23 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 24 and buy enough food for one or two 25.

The note said, “All that I ask 30 is that you take good enough care of 31 so that someday you can do the same thing for someone else.” I have received more from this annual ritual than I have from any amount of 32 I’ve ever earned.

Years ago I was in New York City with my new wife during Thanksgiving. She was sad because we were not with our family. 33 she would be home decorating the house for Christmas, but we were 34 in a hotel room. When I told her what I always did 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 35 realization that people lived in this way and a truly fulfilling experience to make even a small difference.
