In the 1990s, almost all goods are __63__. Only by effort and money can they be obtained .

Kindness is the golden chain by which society is bound together. However, I was not thinking about the golden chain when I had to help people who   36  their way and parked in front of my house.
I was growing tired of helping so many people. Almost every   37  I was awaken during a sound night’s sleep and had to   38  someone out. Many times I was   39  by some penniless motorists who did not even thank me for the helps that they received and some even complained that I could have done   40 .
One day, a young man with a week – old beard climbed out of a   41  automobile. He had no money and no food. He asked if I could give him some   42 , offer him gasoline and a meal. I told him that if he wanted to work for me, he could cut the grass, but   43  the work wasn’t necessary.
Though sweaty and hungry, he worked hard. After working all day, he sat   44 to cool himself. I thanked him for his work and gave him the money he   45 . I then offered him some   46 money for a task particularly well done, but he shook his head,   47 .
I never saw him again. He probably thinks I helped him out that day, but that is not   48  it was. I didn’t help him. He helped me to   49  people again to repay their trust in me. He helped me to once again want to do something for those who are   50 . I wish I could thank him for   51 some of my belief in the basic   52  of others and for giving me back a little of the   53  I had lost. Because of him, I once again felt part of a golden chain of kindness that   54  us to others.
I may have fed his body that day, but he fed my   55 .
