I was doing some last-minute Christmas shopping in a toy store. A nicely dressed little girl was 31 the teddy bears beside her father 32 she saw a little boy walk in and stop in front of the Pokémon toys. His jacket was obviously too small. He had money in his hand. 33 , it seemed to add up to five dollars at most. He was with his father as well, and kept 34 the Pokémon video games. Each time he showed one to his father, his father 35 his head, “No”.
Rather 36 , the boy gave up the video games and chose a picture book 37 . After they walked away, the little girl ran over to the Pokémon video games. She excitedly picked up one 38 on top of the others, and raced down toward the check-out. I picked up my purchases(购买物) and 39 the girl and her father.
Then much to her 40 , the little boy and his father got in line 41 her and me. After the video was paid for and bagged, the little girl 42 it back to the cashier(收银员) and said something secret to her. The cashier smiled and put the 43 under the counter(柜台). I was putting things in my bag when the little boy 44 the cashier. The cashier said, “Congratulations, you’re my hundredth customer today, and you win a(n) 45 !” and she handed the boy the Pokémon game. The boy could only stood there 46 . It was, he said, 47 what he had wanted! The little girl and her father had been standing at the doorway, and I saw the biggest and sweetest smile on her face I have 48 seen in my life.
I suddenly understood that the world is not 49 into the strong who care and the weak who are 50 . We must each in turn care and be cared.
