One summer in college, I was invited to be an instructor at a high school leadership camp.
I first 16 a boy under the tree on the first day of camp. His obvious 17 and shyness made him appear weak and lonely. Nearby, 200 18 campers were playing and joking, but the boy seemed to want to be anywhere 19 where he was.
I was instructed to care more about campers who might feel 20 . So I 21 him and said, “Hi, I’m Kevin. It’s nice to meet you. How are you?”
22 a shaky voice he 23 answered, “Okay, I guess.”
I calmly asked him to join in the activities and 24 some new people. He quietly replied, “No, this is not really my thing.”
I could 25 that this whole experience was 26 to him. But I somehow knew it wouldn’t be right to 27 him, either. It was going to take more time and 28 .
The next day, I was leading camp songs for the campers. They eagerly participated. But the boy was just sitting alone, 29 out the window.

There are great doctors and perhaps it is enough to say that Dr Charles Mayo was one． 36 ，it is not enough for me．
Charles Mayo was not a 37 of mine in the sense that he would 38 by for dinner or remember my daughter’s graduation．We were not that 39 ，for he lived in Minnesota and I lived in California．He was a friend in the sense that he 40 more like a friend than a doctor when he was being a doctor．
I got very close to him just once．More 41 ，he got very close to me．I was flying my own plane to Washington and I felt a serious 42 in my back．It turned around， 43 for a clinic nearby and got in 44 with Dr Jan，my doctor．Jan at once said I had appendicitis (阑尾炎) and I told him he was the 45 doctor I had ever met．“I have no fever and any other symptoms of it．How can I 46 have appendicitis?”
“If you want to 47 better as quickly as possible，we’ll have Charles Mayo look at you．”It took Charles Mayo about thirty seconds to 48 to Jan’s request．
Charles was washing his hands when I was 49 into the operation room．I said，my
50 shaking，“You have done this before，haven’t you?”
“Of course，”he said．“Twice．”
Among all his interests he was craziest about being a doctor．He faced 51 often enough to know that while it is final in a sense，it is not 52 final at all．He enjoyed 53 too much not to know that it has a meaning beyond here and now．
54 he died on July 29，1968，at the age of seventy，following an accident，he lived on in the 55 of his books．I am glad he wrote them，giving people the feeling that we still have him．

All these panhandlers must be hungry, too. Perfect! After we ate, I ordered a(an) 41fifteen lunches and we set out to deliver them. We would pull 42 a panhandler, make a contribution, and tell him or her that we hoped things got better. Then we’d say, “Oh, 43 …here’s lunch.”
We handed our final contribution to a small woman and then immediately 44 back in the opposite direction for home. 45 , the light caught us again and we were stopped at the same crossing where this small woman stood. I was 46 and didn’t know quite how to behave.

But you know what…tonight she is going to have McDonald’s!”
I don’t know if the kids 52 the tears in my eyes. So many times I had questioned whether our acts of kindness were too 53 or insignificant to really effect change. 54 in that moment, I recognized the 55 of Mother Teresa’s words: “We cannot do great things—only small things with great love.”
