Many years ago ,l was working at my job at a community college when a homeless womancame in. She began 21 as she laid back on one of the sofas in the student rest room. 22 　,she wasn't well. Without thinking too much I went next door to the Student Affairs office where I knew I could find 　23 　in the Lost and Found box. I 　24 　up a set of clothing and went back to my office, 　25 　 I heard a colleague calling me. She told me that I should not　 26 　　this person, as it would only lead to her wanting more help. I refused her 27 　and went back to help the woman, 28 　my co-worker's warning .

　　 Two weeks later, while I was working, a very cute elderly man entered my 　29 　　and asked to speak with me in private. Curiously,l gave him my full 30 　and he told me that he had happened to hear my 31 with the co-worker about helping the 32 　woman. He wanted me to know that it is, was always okay to help people and that was why he wanted to give me a 33 for $1,000. I burst into tears, because I 34 needed the money at the time,but also because I had never been 35 　in such a way for helping someone!

　　 We soon became good 36 　 and 10 years later he called me up suddenly and told me he wanted to help me 37 my first home! He　 38 giving me $120,000 as part payment for my dream house in my home town. I asked him why he wanted to give me such a large amount of money and he said it was because I was a " giver" and that I 39 　it ! To make a long story short,l was able to buy the perfect little home for myself,all because one day I did not 40 to help a homeless woman.
