As a saying goes, every bean has its black. It is impossible to make no mistakes all one’s life. My grandpa Nybakken, a carpenter（木匠）, is no   41  . Several decades ago he made a mistake – a perfect mistake,   42  .
On a cold Saturday, Mother’s father was building some wooden cases for the clothes his church was sending to an orphanage (孤儿院) in China. On his way home, he reached into his shirt pocket to find his glasses, but they were gone. He remembered putting them there that morning, so he drove back to the church. His search proved fruitless.
When he   43   replayed his earlier actions, he realized what happened. The glasses had slipped out of his pocket unnoticed and fallen into one of the cases, which he had nailed shut. His brand new glasses, having   44   him ￡20 that very morning, were heading for China! He had to drive home   45  .
Several months later, the director of the orphanage came to give a report on Sunday night at my grandfather’s church, which Grandpa and his family also attended.
“But most of all,” he said, “I must thank you for the   46   you sent last year. You see, the bandits(土匪) had just   47   through the orphanage, destroying everything, including my glasses. I was desperate.”
“   48   I had the money, there was simply no way of   49   those glasses.   50   headaches every day. Then your cases arrived. When my staff   51   the covers, they found a pair of glasses lying on top.”
Then, still gripped (吸引注意) with the  52   of it all, he continued: “When I tried on the glasses, it was as though they had been made just for me! I want to thank you for being a part of that!”
The people listened,   53   for the miraculous（奇迹的） glasses. But the director surely must have  54   their church with another, they thought. There were no glasses on their   55  of items to be sent overseas.
But sitting quietly in the back, with tears streaming down his face, an ordinary carpenter realized the Master Carpenter had used him in an extraordinary way.
