I was sitting at the counter having breakfast at a restaurant the other day．It' s a small place． A man walked in and sat next to me．On top of the milk-dispenser （ 自动售货机） is a small  1_ placed there for both the customers' enjoyment and the owners when things get   2 The news was mostly about the local people．There was a little girl   3  through some coats in a shop on the screen now．The reporter asked her if she found something that   4  ．She smiled, "I like this store．Mommy said I could have any coat I wanted,   5  I'm getting this one for my friend, Mandy．All I know is that Mandy   6  a coat．"

Out of the comer of my eye I could see the man lower his head and begin to   7  his eyes．"Hey, don't feel bad," I told him．He turned  8  me．I could still see the   9  ．

He said, "I'm Mandy' s father．That's the first time I've seen that．"

Oh, my God! My hands   10  and I also wept．"It must be raining," he   11  ．We spoke for a few more minutes．It turns out that he' s been   12 for more than a year and now does odd （零散的） jobs to pay bills．We said   13  and I went to the cash register．I said in a low voice that I   14  his check．"He only gets coffee," the  15  said．"Well, here．This is for my meal, his coffee and tell him this is for Mandy．"

Many years ago I spoke at my friend' s church in Atlanta．A woman came up to me and gave me everything she had in her  16  ．I was shocked and began to   17  it．"It isn't very much , but God said it would multiply．Please take it," she said．

It was $ 57．I   18  carried it with me until that very day．I gave it away and replaced it． I turned to walk away and another man sitting at the counter said, " I heard your  19  with that man．I'll help him,   20  ．"

His eyes watered and he said," He' s right．It must be raining．"
