The poor are very wonderful people. One evening my sisters and I went out and picked up four people from the street. One of them 31 a most terrible condition. I told my sisters, "You 32 the other three. I take care of this one who looks 33 .”So I did for her all that my love can do.I 34 her in bed, and there was such a beautiful smile on her face. She took hold of my hand as she 35 ‘’Thank you" and then she died. I could not help but examined my heart before her. I asked myself 36 I would say if I was in her place. My answer was very simple.1 would say I was hungry, cold, homeless, and I was dying, or something else, but she gave me her 37 love. Then she died with a smile on her face.
