It was a beautiful day for sightseeing around downtown
When my friend Robby 23 for a hot dog stand, I decided to keep her 24. But when she took out her money to pay him, the man 25 us.
“It looks a little on the cool side,” he said, “so 26 mind paying me. This will be free.”
We said our thanks and 27 our friends in the park. But as we talked and ate, I was distracted by a man 28 alone nearby, looking at us. I could tell that he hadn’t showered for days. Another 29 person, I thought.
But when Robby and I went to the garbage can to 30 my lunch bag, I heard a 31 voice ask, “There isn’t any food in the bag, is there?”
It was the man who had been watching us, with no 32 in his voice at all. He was obviously hungry, couldn’t 33 to see anything thrown away, and was 34 to asking this question.
Robby said, “Please wait for me for a minute,” and ran off. I watched 35 as she went across to the hot dog stand. Then I 36 what she was doing. She bought a hot dog and gave the hungry man the food.
When she came back to us, Robby said 37, “I was just passing on the 38 that someone gave to me.”
That day I learned how 39 can go farther than the person you give to. 40 giving, you teach others how to give also.
