It was a cold evening. My daughter and I were walking up Broadway. I didn’t notice a guy sitting inside a cardboard box. But Nora         . She wasn’t even four, but she       at my coat and said, “That man’s cold. Daddy, can we take him home?”
I don’t remember my       . But I do remember a sudden       feeling inside me. I had always been delighted at how much my daughter noticed in her        , whether it was          flying or children playing. But now she was noticing       and beggary.
A fewdays later, I saw an article in the newspaper about volunteers who picked up a food package from a nearby school on a Sunday morning and       it to an elderly person. It was quick and easy. I signed us up. Nora was       about it. She could understand the importance of food, so she could easily see how       our job was. When Sunday came, she was ready, but I had to         myself to leave the house to fetch the food package. On my way to the school, I fought an urge (强烈愿望) to turn         . The Sunday paper and coffee were waiting for me at home. Why do this?       , we phoned the elderly person we’d been appointed. She       us right over.
The building was in a bad state. Facing us was a silver-haired woman in an old dress. She took the package and asked us to come in. Nora ran inside. I unwillingly followed.     walking inside, I saw that the department belonged to someone poor. Our hostess showed us some photos. Nora played and when it came time to say goodbye, we three hugged. I walked home        .
Professionals call such a(n)       “a volunteer opportunity”. They are opportunities and I’ve come to see. Where else but as volunteers do you have the opportunity to do something        that’s good for others as well as for yourself? Nora and I often serve meals to needy people and   54     clothes for the homeless. Yet, as I’ve         her grow over these past four years, I still wonder—which of us has benefited more?
