Question

Recently I had completely changed my views about life after a talk with one of my friends. He told me despite being  31  , he was happy and   32  that it was because of something he saw in Thailand.

A few years ago he was  33 feeling sad and was touring Thailand. He said right in front of his very eyes, he saw a mother 34  her child's right hand with a knife. The helpless  35 in the mother's eyes and the scream of the 36  four-year-old child still remained in his mind.

The 37 mother made the child handicapped (disabled)  38   he could go out on the streets to beg.   39 by the scene, he dropped a small piece of bread he was eating.

And almost at once, several children  40   around this small piece of bread covered with sand, 41  bits from one another. It was the 42   reaction of hunger. He then went to the nearest bakery and bought every single loaf of bread.   43  he gave out the bread to the children (mostly handicapped), he  44    cheers and bows from these  45  children. For the first time in his life, he understood  46  people could give up their 47  for a loaf of bread. He came to  48 how fortunate he was to be able to have a sound body, have a job, have a family, have the chance to  49  about food that didn't taste good, and have the many things that these people in front of him   50  dreamed of having. Perhaps life wasn't bad at all.
