Question

Last summer a snowstorm hit a small town nearby. I saw, in the local newspaper, a picture of a young woman, a little boy and a younger     standing in front of a totally destroyed(摧毁的) house, eyes wide open with fear. I noticed their clothing     closely matched ours. This would be a good chance to teach my children to help those unlucky ones.

I     their situation to my seven-year-old twins, Brad and Martin, and encouraged the boys to donate some of their less favorite toys. My little daughter, Meghan,     quietly when the boys piled up the old toys. After a while, Meghan walked up with Lucy, her much-loved doll, hugged tightly(紧紧抱在) in her arms. She put her round little     into Lucy’s, giving her a final kiss, and then put her down     on top of the others. “Oh, honey”, I said, “you don’t have to give Lucy. You love her so much.”

Meghan nodded, trying to hold back her tears(眼泪). “Lucy makes me happy, Mummy. Maybe she’ll make that little girl happy, too.”

The boys watched in surprise as their baby sister put Lucy in the     . When I stared(凝视) at Meghan, thinking over my donation, they went, without a word, to their room and both     with their loved items. Martin thought for a short while, then looked over at Meghan and put his model car next to Lucy. Amazed, I took my old jacket out of the box, and put in it a new one I had bought the week before, hoping the young woman would     it as much.

Anyone can give away what they no longer require, but true generosity is giving what you     . I, who had meant to teach, was taught.
