No One Is Too Poor to Give
When Teresa，a widow with four young children，saw a notice from her church for all members to gather to deliver presents and food to a 16 family，she took $10 out of her savings jar and bought some ingredients to make three dozen 17 ．She got to the church parking lot just in time to join the convoy going to the home that was to 18 the people’s help．
The route was 19 ，and she was astonished when the cars pulled up in front of her house．When the pastor saw her，he said，“ We 20 expected you to join us ,
Teresa．We know it’s been a great 21 since your husband died，and we all wanted
to 22   you．”
Although she was   23 being the object of charity，Teresa didn’t want to 24 anyone so she 25 said，“ Well，at least I can share these cookies with our    26 ．”
This parable teaches us that no one is too 27   to help others and that true charity is rooted in love and compassion． 28   of spirit is worse than economic distress．Teresa’s story 29 us that very few of us give as much as we could and should．
My friend Larry Rosen，president of the YMCA of Metropolitan Los Angeles
30 me to the concept of “ sacrificial giving”— 31   in a large quantity up to a
point where one must 32 something that is desired．
You can start out easy．Take whatever 33 you are thinking of giving to charity，then   34 it．If that’s too much, increase it by 50 percent instead．The 35 is to stretch yourself．It will mean a lot to those you help，but it will mean as much to your heart．

A young girl, Hattie, stood outside a small church. "I can't go to Sunday School," she said to the pastor(牧师). The next time the 21 met her he said "Hattie, we are going to have a larger Sunday school room soon. When we get the 22 with which to found a school building we are going to 23 one large enough to get all the little children in, and we are going to begin very soon to 24 the money for it."
The pastor did not see Hattie 25 , until he heard from her parents some two years later that Hattie died. As her poor little body was being moved, a purse was found. Inside was found 57 cents and a note 26 : "This is to help build the little church 27 so more children can go to Sunday school."
For two years she had saved for this offering of 28 . When the pastor tearfully read that 29 , he knew instantly what he would do. 30 this note, he told the 31 of her love and devotion.
A newspaper 32 the story and published it. A man 33 them a land worth many thousands. Checks came from far and wide. Within five years the little girl's gift had 34 to $250,000.00 a huge sum for that time.
Her unselfish love had 35 wonders. When you are in the city of Philadelphia, look up Temple University, 36 hundreds of students are trained. Have a look, 37 , at a Sunday School building which houses hundreds of Sunday scholars, 38 no child in the area will ever need to be left outside at Sunday school time. In one of the rooms of this 39 may be seen the picture of the sweet face of the little 40 whose 57 cents made such remarkable history.

When I was young,my parents ran a snack bar in our small town.
One evening in early April,my mother told me to fill in at the snack bar   36  a worker who had the flu.I told her I would mess it up, 37 I had never worked at the bar before.I   38
that instead of making money,I would end up owing it.
“You can do it,”said my mother.“   39  ,you won’t get much business until lunch.”
“But I’ll never remember the orders,and I’m no good___40_money.Please,Mom,don’t
   41  me.”
“Then I’ll help you,”she said.
I shrugged my shoulders.I thought my mother’s     42    was a bad one,but I      43    .
When I got to the bar the next day,I found my mother was   44  .Because the weather that day was rainy and cold,people wanted hot snacks and drinks.   45  ,I was really slow at taking the orders and making change.The line of people grew,and everybody seemed   46  .I was so nervous that my hands shook,and I    47  a cup into pieces.What a mess!Then my mother came to   48  me,and she also showed me how to make   49  .If someone gave me $5 for something that cost $3.25,I handed over  50  quarters and a dollar and said,“75 cents makes four dollars,plus one dollar makes five.”Things went more   51  after that.
By the end of the day,I could remember orders,   52  the bill,and make change quickly with a smile.I was even a little   53   when the sun came out and dried up business.My mother said she was proud of me,and when she   54  that I work at the snack bar again next year,I did not even shrug.I was too busy   55  the restaurant I would open one day.

Many years ago,I owned a service station and roadhouse on the main road between Melbourne and Adelaide.
One very cold,wet night at about 3:30 a.m.,there was a    41   on the front door of our house.A young man,wet from      42     to toe,explained that he had      43     out of petrol about 30 km up the road.He had left his pregnant(怀孕的) wife and his two children    44   at the car and said that he would hitchhike(搭便车) back.
Once I had    45   a can with petrol,I took him back to his car where his two-year-old and four-year-old children were both    46  ,saying that they were cold.Once the car had started,I suggested that he    47   me back.
Before leaving,I had turned the heater    48   in the roadhouse,so that when we went in,it was nice and    49  .While the little ones played and ran    50  ,I prepared bread and butter for the children,and hot chocolate for the    51  .
It was about 5 a.m. before they   52 .The young fellow asked me how much he    53
me and I told him that the petrol pump(加油泵) had    54   $15.He offered to pay “call-out fee”,but I wouldn’t accept it.
About a month later,I received a    55   from Interstate,a large bus company that we bad been trying to    56   to stop off at our roadhouse for a long time.It    57   out that the young fellow I had helped was its general manager,the most    58   person in the company.
In his letter,he thanked me again and    59   me that,from then on,all their buses would stop at my service station.In this    60  ,a little bit of kindness was rewarded with a huge amount of benefits.
