Last weekend, my kids along with a few other kids from the neighborhood volunteered to help me wash my car．My 10-year-old daughter came up with the idea of  31  other people’s cars as well．It was pretty   32   outside and I had no plans to   33   being in the bright sun．She   34   wanted to give lemonade（柠檬汽水）to passers-by for free．I had seen little kids  35   and sell fresh lemonade for a small cost but not free．Although I felt   36  , I decided to help her．

       37   she asked me, “What if we   38   this a smile car wash?” I couldn’t hold back my tears and   39   her and the other kids to go outside the house and come up with   40   ideas．While I kept myself busy in drying the car, the gang walked up to me with a（n）  41   with beautiful images of smiles．They had “Free Car Wash” written on it and the   42   of their exercise was “smile”．It was pretty neat to see a team of kids ranging 5-11 years with the   43    to do something for others．

       All that seemed   44   and came right from their heart．Nothing seemed to   45   to them: their playtime, the heat outside—they just wanted to   46  others and do something nice in the community!

       I helped them make some fresh lemonade and brought out some additional   47  to help clean cars．Passers-by were   48   and one even shouted back to them saying “God Bless You, my kids…” One of them even tried giving them 5 dollars, which they refused．A pretty heartwarming   49   !

       I feel blessed by being   50   by such wonderful and loving souls．
