On a cold November afternoon, my mother and I were walking home from a pizza store. We were dressed warmly and 36 with the rented video we had been dying for watch, I was feeling a little 37 , as I was carrying our shopping, bags of snacks and the 38 .
They were so heavy that I decided to 39 some things. So I started to walk towards the garbage can 40 I noticed a poor man walking his bike out of the restaurant in front of us. He _41 a paper bag with his dirty hand. He headed over to another nearby garbage can and started _42 it.
I suddenly felt very 43 because I was about to do away with a new drink just 44 it was heavy. I knew this man would take all he could 45 , so I walked up to him and 46 the drink and some snacks to him. The man looked up 47 and took what I gave him.
A huge smile spread 48 his face and this caused me to feel indescribable 49 . I felt like I 50 be happier with myself, but then he said, “This is my son’s lucky day!”
With that, he 51 me happily and started off on his bike. I even heard him 52 a song as he rode away. I got a warm feeling inside and I knew I had done something good, for the man and his family. I now understand what is 53 by the saying “Giving is getting”.
Since then, every time I have the 54 to do something nice, the image of the man’s happiness caused by my small gift appears in my mind. This is the 55 of charity.
