As they went along, they saw 1 in the path a pair of old shoes, which they supposed to belong to a poor man who was employed in a field close by, and who had 2 finished his day's work．
The student 3 the professor, saying, “Let's play the man a(n) 4 ：we will hide his shoes, and we stay behind those bushes, and wait to see his 5 when he cannot find them．”
“My young friend,” answered the professor, “we should never 6 ourselves at the expense of the poor．You are 7 , and may give yourself a much greater pleasure by means of helping the poor man．Put a 8 into each shoe, and then we will hide ourselves and watch how the 9 affects him．”
The student did so, 10 they both placed themselves behind the bushes close by．
The poor man soon finished his work, and came 11 the field to the path where he had left his coat and shoes．While 12 his coat he slipped his foot into one of his shoes; but feeling something 13 , he bent down to feel what it was, and found the coin．
Astonishment and wonder were seen upon his face．He gazed upon the coin, turned it round, and looked at it again and again．He then looked around 14 on all sides, but no person was to be seen．He now put the money into his pocket, and went on to put on the other shoe; but his surprise was 15 on finding the other coin．
His feelings 16 him; he fell upon his 17 , looked up to heaven and let out a sincere thanksgiving, in which he spoke of his wife, sick and 18 , and his children without bread, whom the timely giving, from some unknown hand, would save from dying．
The student stood there deeply affected, his eyes filled with tears．“Now,” said the professor, “Are you not much better pleased than if you had played your 19 trick?” The youth replied, “You have taught me a lesson which I will never forget．I feel now the 20 of those words, which I never understood before：‘It is more blessed to give than to receive．'”

Lisa was running late．Lisa, 25, had a lot to do at work, plus visitors on the way：her parents were coming in for Thanksgiving from her hometown．But as she hurried down the subway stairs, she started to feel uncomfortably warln．By the time she got to the platform, Lisa felt weak and tired--maybe it hadn’t been a good idea to give blood the night before, she thought．She rested herself against a post close to the tracks．
Several yards away, Frank, 43, and his girlfriend, Jennifer, found a spot close to where the front of the train would stop．They were deep in discussion about a house they were thinking of buying．
But when he heard the scream, followed by someone yelling, “Oh, my God, she fell in!”Frank didn’t hesitate．He jumped down to the tracks and ran some 40 feet toward the body lying on the rails．“No!Not you!”his girlfriend screamed after him．
She was right to be alarmed．By the time Frank reached Lisa, he could feel the tracks shaking and see the light coming．The train was about 20 seconds from the station．
It was hard to lift her．She was just out．But he managed to raise her the four feet to the platform so that bystanders could hold her by the grins and drag her away from the edge．That was where Lisa briefly regained consciousness, felt herself being pulled along the ground, and saw someone else holding her purse．
Lisa thought she’d been robbed．A woman held her hand and a man gave his shirt to help stop the blood pouring from her head．And she tried to talk but she couldn’t, and that was when she realized how much pain she was in．
Police and fire officials soon arrived, and Frank told the story to an officer．Jennifer said her boyfriend was calm on their 40－minute train ride downtown-just as he had been seconds after the rescue, which made her think about her reaction at the time．“I saw the train coming and 1 was thinking he was going to die,”she explained．
