With a hat by his feet, a blind boy sat on the steps of a building. He held up a sign which said, “I’m blind, please help.”

Only a few people put   36  in the hat. A man was walking by. He   37  some coins into the hat. He then turned the sign   38 , wrote some words, put the sign back and left.

Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people   39  to give money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man came to see   40  things were. The boy recognized his footsteps （认出他的脚步声）and asked, “Were you the one who   41  my sign this morning? What did you write?”

The man said, “I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a   42  way.” What he had written was, “Today is a beautiful day,   43 I cannot see it.”

Both the   44  told people that the boy was blind. But the first sign simply   45  people to help by throwing some money into the   46 . The second one, however, told people that they were able to enjoy the   47  of the day, but the boy couldn’t   48  he was blind.

There are at least two lessons we can learn   49  this story. First, be thankful for what you have. Someone else has less. Help them if you can.   50  , be creative. Think differently. There is always a better way!

I asked my  38  to go over and hand this old man something. He  39  into my husband’s face, smiled and said, “ 40 .” I felt so happy and I wished the old man could live  41 the cold night.
I was sure to meet him again and find out how he was the next   42  , as I have to pass this way every day. I did so the next evening, and he remembered the  43  and came up to my window and 44  at me. This time I offered him a  45  of food. He reached out for the bag and I gave him my hand. He  46  food, smiled and said, “May God bless you.” I looked at the old man and he   47  me think of my father.”
I do hope all of us will remember that maybe one day, it could _48___to one of us,  49  please do not pass by a   5 0  person without offering at least a word of love and a kind smile or an act of kindness of any kind.
