When I was looking for a Christmas present for my daughter in a toy store, a nicely dressed little girl, with some money in her little hand, was looking at some beautiful dolls. When she saw a doll she liked, she would ask her father _________ she had enough money. He _________ said yes.

At the same time, a boy, in old and small clothes, was looking at some video games. He, too, had money in his hand, but it looked no _________ five dollars. Each time he picked up one of the video games and looked at his mother, she shook her head _________.

The little girl had chosen her doll, a very beautiful one. However, she noticed the boy and his mother. She saw the boy give up a video game with disappointment（失望）and walk to _________ corner of the store.

The little girl put her doll back to the shelf and ran over to the video game. After she talked to _________, she paid for the video game and whispered（耳语）to the shop assistant.

So the boy got the video game that he wanted for free—he _________ it was a gift from the store. He smiled happily, although he felt it was so _________.

The girl saw all this happen. She _________, too.

When I walked out of the store to my car, I heard the father ask his daughter __________ she had done that. I would never forget their short talk. “Daddy, didn’t Grandma want me to buy something that would make me happy?”

He said, “Of course, she did.”

“Well, I just did!” With that, the little girl started skipping（蹦跳）towards their car happily.

My wife and our two kids went with me to the post office a few weeks ago. An old man was trying to _________ his electricity bill(电费) in front of me. He was using a cane(手杖) and his hands and arms were shaking _________. It seemed that he had a problem _________ he was short of 20 cents in his total $118.70. Twenty cents!

The lady behind the counter(柜台) kept the old man in such a _________, asking for just 20 cents. He was shaking and looked _________. But _________ letting the man go and paying the 20 cents herself, she told the man that if his bill wasn’t paid in full, he would pay more for late fees(费用) next time.

Hearing this made me feel really sad and sorry, so I walked up and _________ the lady behind the counter to give all of his money back to him. I passed her my debit card(借记卡) and paid the bill for _________.

The old man asked me in surprise, “_________ are you doing this?” as he began crying. I told him that it was the right thing to do. He thanked me over and over again and __________ my two kids on his way out of the post office.

The best part of this was that he walked out of the post office and straight to a supermarket, where he bought a large bag of snacks. As I was starting the engine(引擎), he walked up to our car and handed the bag to our two kids through the window.
