As a young boy my family was very poor.I would often help do something for the neighbors to(16)
a little pocket money.
One day I (17)
at the door of an elderly woman and asked (18)
she needed me to clean the yard.She asked why I was not in (19)
and I showed her my worn(20)
,which no longer kept me warm.She(21)
me to work in the yard.When I finished,she looked at me and said,"I suppose you want to be (22)
now."She then (23)
a jar filled with dollar bills and said,"I'm glad you've done a(24)
job today but that is not something you should be doing again.I want you to (25)
new clothes and get back to school.I also want you to come back to(26)
me with your report card,and I will (27)
you when I see you have worked hard and got some good marks.Now(28)
your little hands and take out as much(29)
as you can."
I put my hands in the jar and grabbed (抓住) so much money that it was(30)
for me to buy what I(31)
needed.Later,I returned several times to see the woman and she did just as she (32)
.She looked at my report card and gave me a handful of dollars and some delicious food every time I (33)
her that I had an"A".
I was twelve years old when I moved from that neighborhood.I will never forget the big (34)
this wonderful lady made to my life with her(35)
.This is something I hope to do myself in this lifetime over and over again.
