Even as I write this story, I am still smiling. The past few weeks have been rather 41 ,
but whe
n a large number of Smile Cards arrived in my 42 the other day, having traveled all the way from the United States to my home in the Netherlands, I knew things wer
e about to 43 .
I 44 where to leave the cards as I went to bed that night: the train, benches at the station, at work, libraries, mailboxes, the gym ---the possibilities 45 endless.
I woke up, went to work, and afterwards, I went 46 to the shop to buy some candy bars, planning to leave them as anonymous(匿名的) 47 for people on the train. However, 48 my early morning train, my train home was extremely crowded. An elderly man must have seen me searching for a place to 49 a Smile Card, because he asked me if I was looking for something.
Right then I 50 that my first Smile Card would not be anonymous. With a big smile and cheeks 51 with excitement, I told him that I 52 what I was looking for, 53 him the candy bar and Smile Card I had in my hands. He had only just finished reading the card 54 I arrived at my stop, but he was still smiling and 55 his candy as I waved at him from the 56 .
57 having worked a full day, I almost bounced(跳) home. Before I entered my apartment, I delivered a few more Smile Cards and candy bars to people's mailboxes. I added an 58 candy bar for a neighbor who I knew was in a difficult financial 59 , but who I saw working hard everyday to get the very best for her young son. I figured they both 60 a tasty little treat.
