When I was about 13, my father would take me on short outings on Saturdays. On the way home, Dad _36_ stopped at the Dairy Queen for 10-cent ice creams. I couldn’t _37_ it, but I could pray from the _38_ we started heading home to that corner where we would either go straight for the ice cream or _39_ and go home empty-handed. That corner _40_ either mouth-watering excitement or _41_.
On one special day, we were heading home, and again I was praying for the _42_ sound of his offer. It _43_. “Would you like an ice cream today?” “That sounds great, Dad!” But then he said, “How would you like to _44_ today?”
Twenty cents! My mind reeled(震惊). I could afford it. I got a weekly allowance of 25 cents, plus some _45_ for odd jobs(零活). But _46_ it was my money, ice cream wasn’t a good use of it. In a fit of _47_, I said, “Well, in that case, I guess I’ll _48_.” My father just said, “Okay, Son.”
But as we headed home, I realized how wrong I was and begged him to _49_. But he just said, “That’s okay, we don’t really need one.” I felt _50_ for my selfishness and ungratefulness. He didn’t mind, or _51_ act disappointed.
I _52_ that generosity(慷慨)goes two ways and gratefulness sometimes costs more than “thank you”. On that day gratefulness would have cost 20 cents and it would have been the _53_ ice cream I’d ever had.
I’ll tell you one more thing. We _54_ another trip the next week. As we _55_ the corner, I said, “Dad, would you like an ice cream today? My treat.”

When I was in primary school, I was 36 asked by my teachers to sit at the 37 of the class because I was not clever. I was the butt (对象) of class jokes. I was all alone, friendless and 38. I hated school, but my dad would have none of it. He 39 telling me that I was a champion, if I 40 it.

The Pecan Thief
When I was six years old, I was visiting my grandfather’s
farm in Kansas. Grandpa had sent me into the 36 to gather
pecans for us to enjoy later.
Pecan picking was really 37 work and my little basket
was only half full. I wasn’t about to 38 Grandpa down. Just
then something caught my 39 . A large brown squirrel was
a few feet away. I watched as he picked up a pecan, hurried to a tree and 40 in a large hole in the trunk. A moment later the squirrel 41out and climbed down to the ground to pick up another nut. Once again, he took the pecan back to his hiding place.
Not so 42 anymore, I thought. I dashed over to the tree and looked into the hole. It was 43 with pecans! Golden pecans were right there for taking. This was my 44. Handful by handful, I scooped all of those pecans into my basket. Now it was full! I was so 45 of myself. I couldn’t wait to show Grandpa all the pecans. 46 , I ran back and shouted, “Look at all the pecans!” He looked into the basket and said, “Well, well, how did you find so many?” I told him how I’d 47 the squirrel and taken the pecans from his hiding place.
Grandpa congratulated me on how smart I’d been in observing the squirrel and his habits. Then he did something that 48 me. He handed the basket back to me and put his arm gently 49my shoulders.
“That squirrel worked very hard to gather his winter 50 of food,” he said. “Now that all of his pecans are gone, don’t you think that little squirrel will 51 the cold winter? ”
“I didn’t think about that, ” I said.
“I know,” Grandpa said. “But a good man should never take 52 of someone else’s hard work.”
Suddenly I felt a bit 53 . The image of the starving squirrel wouldn’t 54 my mind. There was only one thing I could do. I carried the basket back to the tree and poured all the nuts into the hole.
I didn’t eat any pecans that night, but I had something much more filling—the 55 of knowing I had done just the right thing.
