2 . My bike was stolen last Saturday. Left with a lock and a _______ heart, I decided to leave the thief a _______ .Armed with yellow paint, I _______ a big cardboard sign and hung it on my gate. It said:

“To the person who stole my bicycle:

I hope you need it more than I do. I need it to get to work. I can’t _______another one.

PS:   Bring it back.”

I felt a little _______ writing the sign. But I knew other people’s bicycles had been stolen in the neighborhood, and the least I could do was _______ what had happened. I left it up for seven _______.

On Wednesday evening, a young man knocked at my door, carrying a _______.

“Did you get your bike stolen?” asked the guy. “I had this bike _______   around, so I figured you might be able to use it.” I was surprised by the ________ and tried to explain my intentions, saying I really appreciated it, ________ wasn't sure if I'd be able to use it. What was clear, however, was that it wasn't about the bicycle, it was about the desire to ________ . Finally I accepted, very ________ by the kindness.

A snowstorm came the next day, and my husband suggested I ________the sign. I ________ -my bike was stolen on the weekend, so the sign would stay up until the next weekend.

On Saturday morning, I got another ________ on the door. It was a middle-aged woman. She said she drove twice around the block so she could ________read my sign. “What kind of bicycle do you need?” she asked. “If I ________ one, I’ll bring it to you.” Then she gave me a big hug.

I felt strengthened. This sign was ________things. So much kindness was pouring out from such a simple gesture of ________myself up to the universe.
