On a cold November afternoon, my mother and I were walking back home from a pizza store. We had bought many things. We were dressed 26 , and I was feeling a little 27 as I was carrying our shopping, so I decided to throw something away. I was walking towards a dustbin（垃圾箱） 28 I noticed a poor man walking out of the restaurant in front of us. He headed over to the nearby dustbin and started looking through it. I suddenly felt very 29 because I was about to throw away a new drink just because it was too heavy. I walked up to him and handed the 30 and some bread over to him. The man looked up 31 and took what I gave him. A huge smile 32 on his face. I felt I couldn’t be happier with33 . But then he said, “Wow, this is my son’s lucky day!” With that, he thanked me happily and started off on his bike. I 34 heard him singing as he rode away. I got a warm 35 inside. I now understand what it 36 by the saying “Giving is getting”.
