I walked into the Huddle House Restaurant in Brunswick, Georgia and sat down at the table. I picked up the menu and was to order something for breakfast.

“Excuse me,” I looked up and 11 a nice-looking woman standing before me.

“Is your name Roger?”12 she asked.

“Yes,” I answered, feeling rather surprised as I had never seen her before.

“My name’s Barbara and my husband is Tony,” she said, pointing to a middle-aged man sitting alone at the table by the window. He was 13 and weak.

“Tony White, from Landon School in Jacksonville, Florida,” she added.

I looked at that man for a few seconds but I didn’t recognize(认出) him.

“I’m really sorry. The name doesn’t ring the bell,” I said.

She walked back, began 14 with her husband and once in a while I saw her turn around and look directly at me.

I ordered breakfast and a cup of 15 , sitting there, trying to remember who this Tony was. “I must know him,” I thought to myself. “He recognizes me for some reason.” I picked up the coffee cup. Suddenly it came to me.

Everything came up to my mind. The time this 18 boy had made fun of my big ears in front of the girls in my class, and the time this big bully had pushed me against the walls in the hallway just to make himself 19 a big man to all other students.

“I am sorry, Roger,” Tony rolled by me in the wheelchair, being pushed by his wife, raising his thin, shaking hand. “I am so sorry for20 that I did to you.”

“I’m…I’m er…” I didn’t know what to say to him.

When I was nine years old. I used to go to the post office with my mother, sending greeting cards to my aunt in Singapore. To me, these trips were really 16 memories. And receiving mail through a mailbox outside our gate was just as exciting. My small hands could 17 get the mail without using a key! I always couldn’t wait to see how much I was 18 . Oh, a letter!

The story was a true one and still moved me deeply. Thirty years ago. I got to know a

_31 lady named Rose. She had no kids and lived alone. 32 I went to visit her, I always took Rose some coffee and food. One day she said she 33 me to have hunch.

We walked from my work place to a little restaurant on David Street. 34 the way, I began to worry: I knew that she had no money, but if I offered to 35 the lunch. I was afraid I would hurt her.

There were many people in the 36 and all of them were happy. Rose told me to sit and drink coffee by the window. Then she went to 37 in the kitchen. After about 20 minutes, she came out and sat with me. She just paid for one meal and we started to 38 the delicious food together. She told 39 that the restaurant let people work for a meal if they had no money, or would give them a free meal if they were not able to work. To my surprise, she also explained that the workers 40 were working there were all volunteers.

I 41 remember the beautiful afternoon I shared with Rose. 42 we had a meal together only once, it was paid by Rose's work. The weather was 43 and bright, and everyone's smile was warm and bright as well.

I’m still thinking that life cannot be easy to us, but we can still do 44 for out friends and neighbors. The world will be 45 if everybody would like to share happiness with others. It will never be dark if there is a light in everyone's heart.

One day, while I was driving past him with my __32__, I decided to wave at him with a lot of excitement. __33__, when he noticed me waving at him, he looked a bit shocked. Then, I saw his hand go up and he waved back.

Other friends gave similar __42__. This taught my daughter that an act of kindness can be natural and __43__, if you really want to do it. It showed us how giving happiness can do good to __44__ the giver and the receiver.
