Question

    Last night while I was taking a walk, I saw a man crushing something with a rock. He was so attentive that he didn't _____ at anyone passing by. I _____ what he could be doing. Maybe he was crushing stones to make sand, but _____  would he do that?

Finally I decided to find out the _____. He was crushing pieces of bread that he had _____ to prepare food for the birds. The large pieces of bread would be _____ for the birds to eat, so he crushed them into small pieces.

At first, I thought it was unnecessary, _____ the birds themselves could make the bread into small pieces. However, he said he had been doing this for 4 years. He was surprised that I was interested in this, since for _____ it wasn't a big matter. Every night, after reaching his apartment, he _____ around for bread that his housemates couldn't eat up. He then crushed each piece for the birds. He also ______ water and corn on the ground.

When I asked him what encouraged him to do this, he shrugged and ______ said, “What I do is just something ______. In this way the bread doesn't go into the trash and the ______ get food. What's more, I never think it is worth mentioning.” I shared his ______ with others. I hope this would encourage more people to start to do something similar to be ______ to the people around them.

His name's Tariq and he's from Pakistan.
