I live in Albuquerque and I used to give much money to the homeless around, feeling sorry for their misfortune(不幸). But later I became a single mom with no home, a huge 1 and hardly any income. 2 , I stopped giving and became very bitter(痛苦).
Several years later, things started to 3 . I became 4 enough to have a home, and 5 a backyard, and I started to pull myself out of debt. One day we saw a homeless person with the 6 , “ Will work for food. ” I 7. My daughter asked why I no longer helped the people in 8 . I replied, “ Honey, they just use that money for 9 or other bad things. ” She didn’t respond. But when I said that, it didn’t feel right.

He said, “ God bless you, I only need 77 cents. ” I 12 into my ashtray and 13 enough, there was three quarters and two pennies.
Greatly shocked by this 14 , I gave him all the money in the ashtray. He 15 with joy and tears in his eyes, “ You just made it 16 for me to see my mom for Christmas ! The bus offering this great sale is 17 right away ! ” It was a moment I’ll never forget. I think that man won’t forget it either, but I was the one who got the best 18 in life giving. It also 19 me that nothing is a coincidence(巧合), 20 everything has meaning.
