I was growing tired of helping the numerous people who lost their way and parked in front of my house. Almost every night I was 1 during a good night’s sleep to help someone passing through. Many times I was taken for granted by penniless motorists who did not 2 thank me for the help they received and some even 3 that I didn’t do more.
One day, a young man with a-week-old beard 4 out of a broken-down automobile. He had no money and no food. He asked if I could give him some work, 5 him gasoline and a meal. I told him that 6 he wanted to work he could cut the grass, but 7 the work wasn’t necessary.
Though sweaty and hungry, he worked hard. 8 working all day, he sat in the shade and rested. I 9 him for his work and gave him 10 money he needed. I then offered him a little extra money for a task particularly well done, but he 11
I never saw him again. He probably 12 I helped him out that day, 13 that is not the way it was. I didn’t help him; he helped me. He helped me to 14 in people again. He helped me to once 15 want to do something for those who are in 16 . I wish I could thank him for restoring some of my faith in the 17 goodness of others and for giving me back a little of the optimism（乐观） I had 18 . Because of him, I once again felt part of a golden chain of 19 that binds us to others.
I 20 have fed his body that day, but he fed my soul.
