Question

I was sure that I was to be killed. I became terribly nervous. I felt blindly in my pockets to see if there were any cigarettes, which had   31   the search of jailers (people who guard prisoners). I found one and because of my shaking hands, I could   32   get it to my lips. But I had no matches, they had taken those.

I   33   through the bars at my jailer. He did not make eye contact with me. I called out to him, “Have you got a light?” He looked at me,   34   and came over to light my cigarette. As he came close and   35   the match, his eyes accidentally locked with mine. At that moment, I   36  . I don't know why I did that. Perhaps it was   37  , perhaps it was because, when you get very close, one to another, it is very   38   not to smile. In any case, I smiled. In that instant, it was as though a   39   jumped across the gap between our two hearts, our two human souls. I know he didn't want to, but my smile leaped through the bars and   40   a smile on his lips, too. He lit my cigarette but stayed   41  , looking at me directly in the eyes and continuing to smile.

I kept smiling at him, now   42   of him as a person and not just a jailer. “Do you have   43  ?” he asked. “Yes, here.” I took out my wallet and nervously felt for the   44   of my family. He, too, took out the pictures of his family and began to talk about his plans and hopes for them. My eyes were   45   with tears. I said that I   46   that I'd never see my family again, never have the chance to see them grow up.   47   came to his eyes, too.   48  , without another word, he   49   my cell and silently led me out. There, at the edge of town, he   50   me. And without another word, he turned back toward the town.

My life was saved by a smile. Yes, the smile ― the unaffected, unplanned, natural connection between people.
