The following true story moved me deeply. I canˈt forget it even many years have passed.

Thirty years ago, I got to know a   (1)    lady named Rose. She had no kids and lived alone.

I was working in a cafe at that time.  (2)   I went to visit her, I always took Rose some coffee and food. One day she said she was inviting me to have  (3)   .

We walked from my work place to a little cafe on David Street.  (4)   the way, I began to worry: I know she had no money, but if I offered to   (5)  the lunch, Iˈm afraid I would hurt her.

There were many people in the  (6)   , and all of them were happy, even the workers. Rose told me to sit and drink coffee by the window. Then she went to  (7)  inthe kitchen. After about 20 minutes, she came out and sat with me. She just paid for one meal and we started to  (8)   the delicious food together. She told   (9)   that the cafe let people work for a meal if they had no money, or would give them a free meal if they were not able to work. To my surprise, she also explained that the workers   (10)   were working there were all volunteers.

I   (11)   remember the beautiful afternoon I shared with Rose.   (12)   we had a meal together only once, it was paid by Roseˈs work. The weather was   (13)  and bright, and everyoneˈs smile was warm and bright as well.

Sometimes life could be not easy to us, but we could still do   (14)   for our friends and neighbors. The world would be   (15)   if everybody would like to share happiness with others. It would never be dark if there was a light in everyoneˈs heart.

A lady wanted a birthday gift from her husband. For many months she had liked a beautiful   (1)  , and knowing her husband could   (2)  it, she told him that was all she wanted. On the morning of the   (3)  , her husband told her how  (4)  he was to have such a good wife, and how much he loved her. He  (5)  her a beautiful gift package (纸盒). She opened it and   (6)  a Bible.  (7)  , she raised her voice and said to her husband, “With all your money, you give me a Bible?” She was so  (8)  that she left him.

Many years passed and the lady was very  (9)  in business. She owned two large companies. She  (10)  her husband was very old, and thought perhaps she should go to  (11)  him. But before she could, she   (12)  a letter telling her that he had died, and gave all of his possessions (财产) to her. She needed to come back and   (13)  things.

When she arrived at his house, sadness  (14)  her heart. She saw the still new   (15)  , just as she had left it years before. With   (16)  , she opened it and began to turn the pages. A ring  (17)  from the Bible to the floor and a   (18)  could be seen. She picked it up and found it was the ring she wanted in those days. And on the card was the date of her birth, and the words “LUV U ALWAYS”.

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched for they must be felt with the   (20)  .

 I was on my way to visit my cousin in Wales. I was driving on the motorway    (1)     somehow I lost control of my car. It ran into a smaller car, with parents and three young children in it.   (2)    , no one was hurt but the experience was very   (3)   .

There was so much     (4)    that my first thought was to just     (5)    my car as fast as I could. I could hear the children from the car behind me    (6)    . When I got out, I could see the mum was trying hard to    (7)    her crying children and move them away from the smoking     (8)   at the same time. I was shocked.

I thought it would be    (9)    that the parents would be angry and upset. But    (10)  0  being angry with me, the mum simply said to me “Come here. You need to join in our hug. ”

Really? I couldn’t    (11)   my ears. It was such a warm gesture from someone whose family had just been    (12)   by me! I felt much    (13)    afterwards.

Meanwhile, the father was getting the children’s     (14)    out of the back of his car because it was freezing outside. When he came back, he asked me if I was okay and then gave me a   (15)    too! I couldn’t believe it! I could see that he was completely shocked and dazed(茫然的)and yet he   (16)   managed this wonderful and warm gesture. To find pity in a moment like that is   (17)  incredible.

Later, I overheard the couple telling their children that the important thing to    (18)    was that they were all okay and unhurt!

The story didn’t stop there… A few hours later, after I reached my cousin’s home, the father  (19)    me to see if I had got home okay and make sure that I was all right.

Incredible people do    (20)   , but to actually meet them, especially during such a frightening moment, was just so incredible.

It was an extremely busy day. I was so tired of my life that I was getting a little   (1)   with myself and everyone around me. On my way home, I   (2)    my old friend Paul in the street. He looked happy and   (3)   me to his home for dinner. We had not seen each other for many years, so   (4)    I was tired I accepted his invitation.

As we entered the door of his house, Paul started   (5)   , “I have a dream ,a song to sing, to help you   (6)   everything.” I felt   (7)     his behavior, but in no time I understood. Two   (8)    walked to Paul and hugged him. They couldn’t walk   (9)   or speak clearly, but their faces were full of   (10)   , and sang the same song.

We talked about our   (11)   and work, and I learned from Paul that his daughters were born as “special children”. They were mentally changed. Their mother   (12)   years ago. Paul was both mother and father to his beautiful daughters. But Paul said he was   (13)    that the little angels were together with him and that   (14)  could stop him from living actively.

That night, we   (15)   a lot and his happy smiles made my anger and   (16)    fade. I forgot how many times I   (17)   about my life and my work. But Paul’s life was a(n)   (18)   to me. The man smiled at his life and treated any trouble as a    (19)   of life. I owe my thanks to Paul, for he taught me to deal ·with life   (20)   and move on.
