It was very cold outside my car. I did not want to get out of it 36 we passed by a cafe. Suddenly I noticed a short old man, covered with some bits of clothes, shaking with the cold. He was waiting for anyone who would 37 him a coin or a cup of hot tea.
I asked my 38 to go over and hand this old man something. He 39 into my husband’s face, smiled and said, “ 40 .” I felt so happy and I wished the old man could live 41 the cold night.
I was sure to meet him again and find out how he was the next 42 , as I have to pass this way every day. I did so the next evening, and he remembered the 43 and came up to my window and 44 at me. This time I offered him a 45 of food. He reached out for the bag and I gave him my hand. He 46 food, smiled and said, “May God bless you.” I looked at the old man and he 47 me think of my father.”
I do hope all of us will remember that maybe one day, it could _48___to one of us, 49 please do not pass by a 5 0 person without offering at least a word of love and a kind smile or an act of kindness of any kind.
