The poor are very wonderful people. One evening we went out and picked up four people from the street. One of them was in a most 15 condition, and I told the others: You look after the other three. I take care of this one who looked 16 . So I did for her all that my love can do. I put her in bed, and there was such a beautiful 17 on her face. She took hold of my __18__as she said “thank you” and she died. I asked myself what I would say if I was in her 19. And my answer was very simple. I would have tried to draw a little 20 to myself. I would have said I am hungry, that I am dying, I am cold, I am in pain, or something else, but she gave me much more---she gave me her grateful love. And she 21 with a smile on her face. As did that man whom we picked up from the drain (下水道), half eaten with worms, and we brought him to the home. “I have lived like an 22 in the street, but I am going to die like an angel, loved and cared for.” And it was so 23 to see the greatness of that man who could speak like that, who could die like that without complaining, without cursing(诅咒) anybody, without comparing anything. Like an angel---this is the 24 of our people.
