I needed help.     5    I had money and a place     6    (sleep), I recognized that I needed help too. Then I opened my wallet and gave him enough money to get a meal and room to stay in for a day.     7     (sudden), I understood that no matter how much money, achievements, luxury goods(奢侈品)we have, we all need help. And on     8     other hand, no matter how poor you are, how many material problems you have, you still might offer your help to     9    (other). You still might be giving.
