The story was a true one and still moved me deeply. Thirty years ago，I got to know a 36 lady named Rose. She had no kids and lived alone. 37 I went to visit her, I always took Rose some coffee and food. One day she said she 38 me to have hunch.
We walked from my work place to a little restaurant onDavid Street. 39 the way, I began to worry: I knew that she had no money, but if I offered(提供) to 40 the lunch，I was afraid I would hurt her.
There were many people in the 41 and all of them were happy. Rose told me to sit and drink coffee by the window. Then she went to 42 inthe kitchen. After about 20 minutes, she came out and sat with me. She just paid for one meal and we started to 43 the delicious food together. She told 44 that the restaurant let people work for a meal if they had no money, or would give them a free meal if they were not able to work. To my surprise, she also explained that the workerswhowere working there were all 45 .
I 46 remember the beautiful afternoon I shared with Rose.47 we had a meal together only once, it was paid by Rose's work. The weather was 48 and bright, and everyone's smile was warm and bright as well.
