Learning experiences happen to us throughout our lives. Not long ago, I had one that I would like to 16 .
I was going to Marblehead with my sailboat team. The team was racing down the highway at 85 mph 17 we realized we were 18 . Luckily, we saw a rest area ahead. I had a brand new $20 bill. I was so 19 because I had never had that kind of cash before. But spending it on 20 seemed like throwing it away. We all rushed into the pizza line. 21 I got a pizza and a drink, and walked to my table. About half way through the meal, I 22 I had not actually handed any money to the cashier. I had just 23 out, and nobody had noticed, I felt terrible.
My conscience( 良心) opened its mouth and swallowed me in one big bite. I couldn’t 24 over it. I just couldn’t go back to the cashier and 25 for my stolen pizza. I was so upset that I 26 to give myself the pleasure of an ice-cream for 27 that someone would say, “ Hey, Jeff, why don’t you use the change 28 the pizza instead of that nice, new $20 bill?” I was not so 29 of my cash now.
For the next two years, whenever I was 30 of the “pizza incident”, I would say to myself, “ Don’t think about it...”
I have learned two things from this 31 . Maybe I was a fool for 32 in to my conscience, and being too stupid to appreciate a 33 pizza. But the real lesson is that even if you get away from what you have done, your conscience 34 up with you.
This reflect the saying, “ A coward(懦夫) dies a thousand deaths; a hero dies one.” I was a coward and have felt terrible about that incident at least a thousand times. If I had been a “ 35 ” and gone back to pay for the pizza, I would have felt a little uncomfortable about it only once, or maybe twice.

Known as the Animal Lady in this area which I lived in, I was always asked to lend a hand in animal 36 . One afternoon three little neighbor girls ran up 37 my door, saying a baby squirrel was on the sidewalk. I quickly 38 the kids and they led me to a tiny squirrel still with milk teeth. I 39 and held the little creature up gently in my arms to check it for 40 . It seemed fine. I figured the mother must have been killed, 41 it an orphan(孤儿). Now, the baby was pretty hungry for milk and then left its nest to 42 the neighborhood for help.
I was about to carry it into my 43 when I found several other babies starting to run down the tree from where their nest was. With the first squirrel hid into my 44 , I stood at the base of the tree and was 45 when three more babies ran right down into my hands. Those dear little creatures were so happy to feel safe and 46 ,and they all held each other close in my shirt. I took them home and 47 them bread and milk to eat. The poor starving things went 48 as they swallowed the meal.
I phoned a lady in the next town who 49 a small squirrel shelter. She had a big back yard with large 50 surrounded by a tall wooden fence. She assured me she was well 51 to care for the babies and provide a natural home for them when they were grown.
I love that those little girls cared enough about the squirrels to seek out the 52 of the Animal Lady! And I really 53 getting to help the baby creatures. And then the 54 of caring continued 55 the lady with the squirrel shelter took them in. How wonderful to be part of a chain of kindness.

While eating lunch with my 4-year-old daughter this afternoon at a fast food restaurant, I noticed an old man walking to the table with a stick. The manager kindly carried the food for him. During the meal I 36 the man tell a woman it was his 37 . So I 38 what I heard to my daughter. She loves it when people have birthdays. I told her it was OK for her to wish him a happy birthday. He 39 was spending this special day alone.
At first she was 40 and decided against it. As I was 41 our plates into the dustbin she turned to him and quietly 42 him a Happy Birthday. I could tell he was 43 by the way he looked at her. I 44 behind her and gave him my own wishes. He was grateful.
45 we walked away he called my daughter back and 46 her a brand-new gold $1 coin. She thanked him. But that
wasn't enough for him. He 47 his pocket and at that I kindly told him that wasn't 48 . He ignored me and 49 out an envelope with about a dozen of a different kind of gold coins. He continued to give her another one and tell her how 50 it was and that one day it would be worth 51 . He then 52 me in the eye and wished me a good day.
What a kind man. I'm sure my daughter 53 his day. On such a special day, 54 can I take away his glory and 55 his offering of thanks?
Happy Birthday!
