Did More Than Carry My Books
Mark was walking home from school one day
when he noticed the boy ahead of him had dropped all of the books he was
carrying, along with a baseball bat and several other things. Mark 36 down and
helped the boy pick up these articles. 37 they were going the same way, he helped
to carry some of them for him. As they walked Mark 38 the boy' s name was Bill,
that he 39 computer games, baseball and history, that he was having a lot of 40
with his other subjects and that he had just broken 41 with his girlfriend.
They arrived at Bill's home first and Mark
was 42 in for a
Coke and to watch some television. The afternoon passed 43 with a few laughs
and some shared small talk, and then Mark went home. They 44 to see each other
around school, had lunch together once or twice, and then both ended up from
the same high school. Just three weeks before 45 , Bill asked Mark if they 46
talk.
Bill 47 him of the day years ago when they
had first met. "Do you 48 wonder why I was carrying so many things home
that day?" asked Bill. "You see, I 49 out my locker because I didn't
want to leave a mess (脏乱) 50 anyone else. I had planned to run away and I was going home to
51 my things. But after we spent some time together 52 and laughing, I realized
that 53 I had done that, I would have 54 a new friend and missed all the fun we would have
together. So you see, Mark, when you
picked up my books that day, you did a lot more. You 55 my life."
