A young man was about to finish school. For a long time he had   16  to get a beautiful sports car. He knew his father could well   17  it, so he told him that a sports car was all he wanted. Then on the morning of his graduation(毕业),he was called to his father’s room. His father told him how   18  he was to have such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him. He handed his son a beautiful gift box.   19 , the young man opened the box and found a lovely Bible(圣经)with his name on it. Angrily, he raised his  20  to his father and said, “With all your money you give me a Bible? ” He then rushed out of the house, leaving the Bible.
Many years passed and the young man was very   21 in business, and had a beautiful home and a wonderful family.  22  that his father was very old, he thought perhaps he should go to see him. He had not seen him   23 that graduation day. Before he could go, he received a phone telling him that his father had died. He had to go home immediately and take care of the things that his father left him. When he began to search through his father’s important papers, he saw the still new Bible,   24   as he had left it years ago. He opened the Bible and began to turn the pages. As he was reading, a car key with a tag(标牌)dropped from the back of the Bible. On the tag was the    25   of his graduation, and the words “PAID IN FULL”. Sadness and regret(悔恨)filled his heart.

I was in line waiting to pay. In line there were two people before me. A little boy was buying some rather strange clothes. He chatted with anyone who was interested in the clothes and soon we learnt that he was going to a kindergarten(幼儿园) party. He had done a great job of putting together interesting costumes.
I noticed that the little boy was paying mostly with change(零钱). It seemed that he had robbed his pig bank(猪形储蓄罐) to do this shopping. However, the cashier told him he was short after counting all the money. The boy thought for a moment and said, “Please keep the shirt and I will come back with more money. “
It was clear that he had already used all the money he had and he was $ 8.00 short. The lady in front of me said, “Well, I could pay half of that. “I told the boy that I could pay the other half. We dug into our handbags. However, both of us only had ten-dollar bills(纸币) and we needed the cashier to get the change for us. Other shoppers began digging into their pockets to find some change. It was amazing and touching(令人感动的) as all these strangers seemed to react(反应) with the same mind. All wanted to be of help. Within minutes the cashier said, “I have too much money.” The cashier didn’t need our ten-dollar bills. Then the lady in front of me, who had been the first to offer help, said, “Wait! I didn’t even get a chance to give anything!”
I smiled at her and said, “You did your share, because it was your idea and you started all this. “ The little boy smiled and thanked us. We wished him the best and he left. I was left with a good feeling. I had seen the love and goodness of others all around me. The woman in front of me smiled and said, “It sure feels good to give, doesn’t it?” I smiled back and said, “Yes !”
