I will never forget a story in the rest of my life. One day about two years ago, I was driving home with my husband. It was freezing cold outside, so I didn't want to get out of the car and just stayed at the wheel when we passed a cafe. Suddenly I _______ a short old man, covered with some bits of cloth, _______ with the cold. He was waiting for anyone who would leave him a coin or a cup of _______ coffee. I asked my husband to _______ and hand this old man something. He looked at my husband's face, smiled and said, "Thank you." I felt so happy _______ I wished the old man could live through the cold night.

I was sure to meet him again and find out _______ he was the next day, as I had to pass this way the following day. I did so the next evening, and he _______ the car and came up to my window and smiled at me. This time I _______ him a bag of food. He reached out for the bag and I gave him my hand. He held the food, smiled and said, "May God bless you!" I looked at the old man and he made me think of my father. I do hope all of us will remember that _______ one day, it could happen to one of us, so please do not pass by a poor person ________ offering at least a word of love and a kind smile.

A hand helped me out of the tree, and a frightened voice asked me if I was badly hurt. The speaker was a young man who was very sorry. I was more p______ than angry, it was a good way for the car to disappear.
