Last summer, I cycled to a small village with my friend Mike. We had a ___ time there. However, when we were ____ a bike on a narrow road, we found a big tree lying across the road.
We had to ____ the bike. And Mike ____ complaining, ”Why did someone put a tree across the road? And why did ____ get it out of the road?” He ____ complaining. I thought he would ask me to help him get the tree out of the road, but he didn’t. __ __ , he just stepped over it with his ____ , followed by me. And he still didn’t stop complaining, “I guess nowadays no one is ____ to do something for others.” I thought now he would ____ to remove it, but he still didn’t. He just got on his bike and was about to leave. But I didn’t follow him. Noticing I wasn’t ____, he asked me, “What’s wrong?” I said, ”Let’s remove the ____.” He looked puzzled and asked, “____should we do it? It’s not our responsibility.” But I insisted. ____, he got off his bike and we got the tree out of the road together. “You see, there are still ____ who are willing to do something for others,” after removing the tree, I said laughingly to my friend and he ____, too.
My dear friends, when something is in your ____ next time, you can choose to complain and just ____ it there. But you can ____ choose to get it out of the way. Don’t ____ for others to do that. You can be the one who does something for others.
