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.
I am going to try to make a home for many people who have no home. Because I believe that love begins at home, and if we can create a home for the poor, I think that 38 love will spread(延伸、撒开)．Through this love we will be able to bring peace to the poor. So let us always meet 39 with a smile, for the smile is the 40 of love, and once we begin to love each other naturally, we will do something for others.

Coming home from school every day，Molly peeked at （偷看） Dad when Mum wasn't （7） ，but every time he shook his head．

Mum looked from Dad to Molly and opened the box．Her eyes lit up when she saw the gloves．"Oh，who bought these for me？"she asked．
