1 . A little girl created a perfect gift for her mother’s birthday. It was a drawing of a _________ on white paper with the words “For mom: love, love, love” decorated with hearts. She folded (折叠) her letter, but then she _________ it.
For most people, that would be the _________ of this story, but this story had a different result. James Carrell _________ the letter. He had just called his mother, wishing her a happy birthday. After he hung up, Carrell saw the _________ on the ground outside of a hardware (五金器具) store in Manvel. “I realized it was a gift,” said Carrell. “I _________ it up and saw the flower and hearts. It really _________ me.” Carrell thought the letter would brighten someone’s day and that maybe he could find the _________, so he posted it on the Internet. The message moved a lot of people, _________ one man.
“I was sitting at my friend’s house and saw a man’s reply,” said Carrell.
The comments included one from Robert Alvarado. He wrote, “I can’t __________ you found my baby’s letter.” Carrell reached Alvarado to __________ the letter. It took a few days, but the men finally __________ on Thursday night, one day after Alvarado’s wife’s birthday.
“__________ the letter made it home,” said Alvarado “We are thankful for what James Carrell did.”
We often forget the power of __________ things, but for this family from Alvin, Carrell’s small act left a(n) __________ impression.
