She would 38 smile in a really happy way until one day when we got to work in the 39 department again. She 40 as if she was the happiest girl in the world. But I had a strange feeling. So I went up to her and asked,“What’s wrong with you?”She answered, “Why?”I said,“I could feel you’re very 41 today and you’re trying to hide it.”
She was shocked(震惊的) as if I had 42 her deepest secret, so we started 43 .
She told me why she was feeling like that and why she was 44 to hide it and we had a good time together. Time 45 and we became good friends. She’d always tell me I had changed her 46 in so many ways, but I could not 47 how it had happened. I would just smile, not understanding what she 48 by that.
Today this girl is one of my best 49 . I really don’t know what I would do 50
her. She has been there for me in every possible way a friend could be.
I guess what I’m trying to say is you 51 know when you’re helping yourself. I
52 this girl never knowing that at the same time I was helping myself by finding a(n)
53 friend.
So the next time you see a 54 and he looks as if he needs 55 who will listen to him, listen to what he has to say. You never know, you might just end up helping yourself.
