There were many _______ playing between the cars parked on the side of the street.
As his car passed, a child suddenly appeared and threw a _______ at the car. The man stopped the car and jumped out. He grabbed (抓) the kid and _______ at him, “What are you doing?” He continued yelling (喊叫), “That’s a new car. It will be _______ to repair the damage you did with that brick (砖). Why did you do it?”
“I’m sorry. I didn’t know what else to do! It’s my brother,” he said. “He rolled off (滚下) the curb (马路牙子) and fell out of his wheelchair (轮椅) and I wanted to stop the wheelchair. Now I can’t _______ him up.” The boy asked the man, “Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? He’s hurt and he’s too _______ for me.”
The young man swallowed and said nothing. He lifted the kid’s brother _______ into his wheelchair.
“Thank you, sir,” the child said. The man then watched the little boy push his brother toward their home.
The young man did not _______ the dent (凹痕) in his car. He kept it to remind (提醒) himself not to go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick to get his _______. Sometimes, when you don’t make the time to listen, life throws a brick __________ your head.
