Back in New York, I am fighting fires as the assistant captain of a volunteer fire company.

I still remember my first fire. I was the s    1     volunteer on the scene. The captain was talking with the homeowner, who was standing outside at midnight, in the pouring rain and under an umbrella, barefoot, while her house was on fire. She was surely having one of the w    2     days of her life.

The other volunteer, who had arrived just before me, was asked to go inside and save the homeowner’s dog. The captain then waved me over. He said, “Bezos, I need you to go upstairs and get this woman a pair of shoes.” This was not exactly what 1 was hoping for, but I went up the stairs, past the f    3    , who were almost done putting out the fire at this point, into the bedroom to get a pair of shoes.

Now I know what you’re thinking, but I’m no hero. (Laughter) I carried the shoes d    4    . There I met the other volunteer with the precious dog. We took our treasures (珍宝) outside to the homeowner. Not surprisingly, his treasure r    5     much more attention than mine.

A few weeks later, the company got a letter from the homeowner thanking us for saving her home. In the letter she described the act of k    6     —someone had even gotten her a pair of shoes.

Not every day is going to offer us a chance to save somebody’s life, but every day offers us a chance to a    7     one. So get in the game. Save the shoes.
