Waiting for the airplane to take off, I was happy to have a seat by myself．Just then, an air hostess approached me and asked, “Would you mind   26   your seat? A couple would like to sit together．” The only 27 seat was next to a girl with her arms in casts（石膏），a black-and-blue face, and a sad expression．“  28  am I going to sit there,” I thought immediately．But a soft voice spoke, “She needs help．” Finally, I  29  to move to that seat．

The girl was named Kathy．She  30  in a car accident and now was on her way for  31  When the snack and juice arrived, it did not take me long to  32  that Kathy would not be able to  33  herself．I considered  34  to feed her but hesitated, as it seemed too  35  to offer a service to a  36  ．But then I realized that Kathy’s need was more  37  than any of my discomfort．I offered to help her eat, and  38 she was uncomfortable to accept, she  39  as I expected．We became closer and closer in a short period of time．By the end of the five-hour trip, my heart  40  , and the  41  was really better spent than if I had just sat by myself．

I was glad I had reached  42  my comfort zone to sit next to Kathy and feed her．Love  43  flows beyond human borders and remove the fears that keep us  44 ．When we  45  to serve another, we grow to live in a larger and more rewarding world．
