Question

I was walking around in a Big Bazar store doing a shopping, when I saw a Cashier talking to a boy who couldn’t have been more than 5 or 6 years old. The Cashier said, “I’m sorry, _______you don’t have enough money to buy this doll.”  Then the little boy turned to me and asked, “Uncle, are you sure I don’t have enough money?”

I _______ his cash and replied, “You know that you don’t have enough money to buy the doll, my dear.” The little boy was still holding the doll in his hand.  Finally, I walked _______ him and I asked him _______ he wished to give this doll to.  “It’s the doll _______ my sister loved most and wanted so much . I wanted to gift her for her Birthday. I have to give the doll to my mommy so that she can give  it to my sister when she goes there.” His eyes were so _______ while saying this.

“My Sister has gone to be with God. Daddy says that Mommy is going to see God very soon too, so I thought that she could take the doll with her to give it to my sister.” My heart _______ stopped. The little boy _______ me and said, “I told daddy to tell mommy not to go _______. I need her to wait until I come back from the mall.”

Then he looked again at the ________with sad eyes, very quietly. I quickly ________ for my wallet and said to the boy. “Suppose we check again, just ________ you do have enough money for the doll?” I added some of my money to his, with out him seeing and we started to count it. There was enough for the doll and even some________money.

The little boy said, “Thank you God for giving me enough money! I asked last night God to ________ I had enough money to buy this doll. He heard me! I also wanted to have enough money to buy a white rose for my mommy, but I didn’t ________ to ask God for too much. But He gave me enough to buy the doll and a white rose. ”

I finished my shopping in a totally different ________from when I started. I couldn’t get the little boy out of my mind. Then I remembered a local news paper article two days ago, which mentioned a ________ man in a truck, who hit a car occupied by a young woman and a little girl.
