Question

I was doing some last-minute Christmas shopping in a toy store. A nicely dressed little girl was  36   the teddy bears beside her father  37  she saw a little boy walk in and stop in front of the Pokémon toys. His jacket was obviously too small. He had money in his hand.   38  , it looked no more than five dollars at most. He was with his father as well, and  39  picking up the Pokémon video games. Each time he showed one to his father, his father  40   his head, “No”.

Rather  41  , the boy gave up the video games and chose a book of stickers  42  . After they walked away, the little girl ran over to the Pokémon video games. She excitedly picked up one  43   on top of the others, and ran toward the check-out. I picked up my purchases(购买物) and  44  the girl and her father.

Then, much to the little girl’s  45  , the little boy and his father got in line  46  her and me. After the video was paid for and bagged, the little girl  47  it back to the cashier(收银员) and  48   something to her. The cashier smiled and put the  49  under the counter(柜台). I was putting things in my bag when the little boy came up to the cashier. The cashier said, “  50  , you’re my hundredth customer today, and you win a prize!” and she handed the boy the Pokémon game. The boy could only   51   in disbelief. It was, he said,   52  what he had wanted! The little girl and her father had been standing at the doorway, and I saw the biggest and  53  smile on that little girl I have ever seen in my life.

I suddenly understood that the world is not  54  into the strong who care and the  55  who are cared for. We must each in turn care and be cared.
