Question

One day I  37  on the door of an elderly woman and asked  38  she needed me to clean the yard. She asked why I was not in  39  and I showed her my worn  40 , which no longer kept me warm. She  41  me to work in the yard. When I finished, she looked at me and said, “I suppose you want to be  42  now.” She then  43  a jar filled with dollar bills and said, “I’m glad you’ve done a  44  job today but that is not something you should be doing again. I want you to  45  new clothes and get back to school. I also want you to come back to  46  me with your report card and I will  47  you when I see you have worked hard and have some good  48 . Now reach out your little hands and take out as much  49  as you can.”

I put my hands in the jar and  50  so much money that it was  51  for me to buy what I badly needed. Later, I returned several times to see the woman and she did just as she  52 . She looked at my report card and gave me a handful of dollars and some delicious food every time I  53  her that I had an “A”.
