Question

There was a Greek shopkeeper in a small corner shop in London. She taught me about the     of an act of kindness, which has motivated me to give.

On the day I went to that shop, I was      with a very high fever. I had been off work for days and I had        out of food. Because I had been working so hard since I had       to town, I also had no friends who could help.

So I went out to get some food.      , I would have gone to the supermarket, but on this      , I went into the Greek shop because it was closer. I       a few things, which revealed the     that I lived alone. Then I       them to the shopkeeper, who told me, “You are unwell.” I       rather shyly. She pointed at the things I was buying and      “I can make you a sandwich, so you don’t have to do it yourself.”

So, she made the sandwich and asked me to       a moment. She went in the back room and reappeared with a container of hot soup.” It will       you up,” she said with a smile.

         What really warmed me up,       , was not the soup. It was her      that told me she cared. Her kindness made me feel cared for when I was particularly       .

And it       me. It made me want to be as       as the shopkeeper. I had been quite shy, but, from that day on, I did not let shyness prevent me from        random acts of kindness.

         I was determined to        the joy… and I haven’t felt lonely since!
