She found him very tired, so she asked him to  36  ,but he didn’t. Sometimes, the nurse heard the young man say a few words. The old man said nothing. He only held the young man’s hand the whole night.

    When morning came, the old man died. The nurse said, “I’m sorry about that.” “But 37 was that man?” “He was your father,” she answered  38 . “No, he wasn’t.” the young man said. “I never saw him before in my life.” “Then why didn’t you say anything when I took you to him?” “I knew at once that there must be something wrong. But I also knew he   39  his son, and his son just wasn’t here. When I found he was too sick to tell whether l was his son or not, I knew how much he needed me. So I  40  .”

On a cold December morning, my mother and I were walking home from pizza store. We were  35  warmly and equipped with the video we had been trying to watch. I was feeling a little tired  36  I was carrying our shopping bags of snacks and the video.

They were so  37  that I decided to throw away some of them. So I started to walk towards the dustbin when I noticed a poor man stepping out of the restaurant in front of us. He held a paper bag with his dirty hand. He  38  over to another nearby dustbin and started looking  39  it.

I suddenly felt very upset. I know this man would take all he could get, so I walked up to him and  40  the drink and some snacks to him. The man, with lines on his face and wrinkles(皺紋) on his forehead, looked up in  41  and took what I gave him.

A huge smile spread across his face and this made  42   feel indescribable satisfaction(滿意). I felt like I couldn’t be happier with myself, but then he said, “Wow, first someone gives me this sandwich, then this drink, and now some tasty food, this is my daughter’s  43  day!”

He thanked me happily and started off on his bike. I even heard him whistling(吹哨) a song as he  44  away.

I now understand what is meant by the saying “giving is getting”. Everyone in the world needs help, everyone can  45  help and everyone will be helped by something kind.

The image(圖像) of that man’s happiness  46  by my small gift appears in my mind every time I have the chance to do something nice.
