Have you ever offered a helping hand to those who are in trouble

One day, two ______ were walking along the road to school when they saw an old woman carrying a large basket of pears. They thought the woman looked very ______. They went up to her and said, “Are you going to town? If you are, we will help carry your basket.”

“Thank you,” ______ the woman, “you are very kind. You see I’m weak and ill.” Then she told them that she was now going to market to ______ the pears which grew on the only tree in her little garden.

“We are all going to the _____.” said the boys. “Let us have the basket.” And they took hold of it, one each side. They walked ______   with the heavy basket, but happily.

The other day, I saw a little girl stop and ______   a piece of orange peel (皮), which she threw into the dustbin (垃圾桶), “I wish ______   would throw that on the sidewalk,” said she. “Someone may step on it and fall.”

Perhaps some may say that these are not ______ things. That is right. But such a little thing shows that you have a thoughtful mind and a feeling heart. We must not wait for the ______to do great things. We must begin with little things of love.
