He called the waiter and placed his saying, “Two cups of coffee, one of them there on the wall”. We this order with rather interest and observed that he was with one cup of coffee but he paid for two. As soon as he left, the waiter a piece of paper on the wall saying “A Cup of Coffee”.
While we were still there, two other men and ordered three cups of coffee, two on the table and one on the wall. They had two cups of coffee but for three and left.

Since we had to do with the matter, we our coffee, paid the bill and left.
After a few days, we again had a(n) to go to this coffee shop. While we were enjoying our coffee, a man walked in. The way this man was dressed did not the standard nor the atmosphere of this coffee shop. Poverty was from the looks on his face. he seated himself, he looked at the wall and said, “One cup of coffee from the .” The waiter served coffee to this man with and dignity. The man had his coffee and left without paying. We were amazed to watch all this when the waiter a piece of paper from the wall and threw it into the dustbin.

Yesterday I was fortunate enough to find one more person in our world who is kind and caring. It was about 11:00 p.m. 21 my telephone rang. The caller ID showed the number of a Best Western Hotel. 22 , I would ignore this type of call. For some reason, 23 , I went ahead and answered.
The man on the other end asked if I knew Samual K. I 24 , as he is my 91 – year – old grandfather. Still not 25 why I was the one that had been called, the caller went on to tell me that I was the only 26 listed in the phone book. He said his name was Mason and that he was the 27 at the Best Western Hotel. The 28 was that grandpa had no money with him, and that he couldn’t 29 any phone numbers, so Mason called all over the state trying to get help.
Grandpa told me that he just wanted me to tell Mason that he is a (n) 30 guy and would pay the money once he got home. But the man in charge there was 31 because my grandfather seemed to be 32 . He had been going somewhere else when he got on the wrong bus and 33 100 miles from home.
Not wanting to turn him away and not wanting the police to 34 him to the police station, Mason, 35 any normal duty, not only took the time to 36 me, but also charged just $ 39 so that grandpa could 37 safely and comfortably overnight. (The rooms normally rent for about $ 140!) Besides, he had the staff of that hotel all 38 him until my uncle was able to drive the 100 miles to pick him up!
So, it’s just one more piece of 39 that proves that there are still good people out there; wherever you go, there is always one who 40 .

As a saying goes, every bean has its black. It is impossible to make no mistakes all one’s life. My grandpa Nybakken, a carpenter（木匠）, is no 41 . Several decades ago he made a mistake – a perfect mistake, 42 .
On a cold Saturday, Mother’s father was building some wooden cases for the clothes his church was sending to an orphanage (孤儿院) in China. On his way home, he reached into his shirt pocket to find his glasses, but they were gone. He remembered put
ting them there that morning, so he drove back to the church. His search proved fruitless.
When he 43 replayed his earlier actions, he realized what happened. The glasses had slipped out of his pocket unnoticed and fallen into one of the cases, which he had nailed shut. His brand new glasses, having 44 him ￡20 that very morning, were heading for China! He had to drive home 45 .
Several months later, the director of the orphanage came to give a report on Sunday night at my grandfather’s church, which Grandpa and his family also attended.
“But most of all,” he said, “I must thank you for the 46 you sent last year. You see, the bandits(土匪) had just 47 t
hrough the orphanage, destroying everything, including my glasses. I was desperate.”
“ 48 I had the money, there was simply no way of 49 those glasses. 50 headaches every day. Then your cases arrived. When my staff 51 the covers, they found a pair of glasses lying on top.”
Then, still gripped (吸引注意) with the 52 of it all, he continued: “When I tried on the glasses, it was as though they had been made just for me! I want to thank you for being a part of that!”
The people listened, 53 for the miraculous（奇迹的） glasses. But the director surely must have 54 their church with another, they thought. There were no glasses on their 55 of items to be sent overseas.
But sitting quietly in the back, with tears streaming down his face, an ordinary carpenter realized the Master Carpenter had used him in an extraordinary way.

I've always loved pigeons(鸽子). Some years ago I managed to persuade my wife to let me buy a few and start 16 them myself. They cost a lot of money and so it spoilt(破坏) our 17 a bit, but my wife never actually stopped me so I 18 carried on. I learnt so much about them that I could 19 a good racer anywhere and I bought some beauties. My pigeons won some top races, and I even began to make a bit of 20 .
You see, people are prepared to pay big prices if they get to know that your pigeons are 21 big prizes.
My wife had been changing her 22 to the pigeons over the last year or two anyway. She was quite 23 of all the prizes we’d won. Then there was the travelling, which she liked. You see some one has to take the pigeons a 24 way off and set them free. Some of the 25 were really nice. I never travelled. I used to like to wait at home and see them come in. They’ve got this wonderful sense of 26 , which can bring them back home so quickly. They’d flown hundreds of miles sometimes 27 storms or against strong winds. And there they’d come, tiny white birds against the great 28 . Then I'd watch them 29 round and come down onto the landing shelf. I'd look at my watch and think, “My goodness, that’s a good 30 . ”And I'd take off the little leg ring and push it through the machine to 31 what time he’d arrived. Then my wife would 32 up and say, “Has he arrived yet?” Then we would work out if we’d won 33 .
Then last year we had a 34 ! All of them got some sort of flu and 35 . It was terrible. I had to burn them all. We lost a fortune, of course.

As Christmas is coming, there are presents to be bought, cards to be sent, and rooms to be cleaned. Parents are faced with difficult jobs of hiding presents from curious young children.

It was just getting dark. There was a touch of fog and I was on a lonely stretch of road. 36 I was going along cheerfully, thinking about the dinner I would eat when I got to Salistury .
I was going along 37 at about thirty-five miles an hour when suddenly I heard a scream, a 38 scream--- “ Help! ” I looked round, but the only 39 of life was a large, black, rather suspicious--looking（可疑的）car just 40 a bend in the road about a hundred yards away. That was where the cry had come from. I 41 speed and went after it. I think the driver saw what I was doing, for he did the same and began to draw 42 me. As I drew near, the girl’s voice came again, a lovely voice but trembling with 43 .
“Let me go, you coward; you’re hurting me. Oh ! Oh ! ”
I felt my 44 boil. The fog was coming down 45 now, and the countryside was lonelier. I had no 46 that the murderous guy in the car noticed this. Again came a cry.
“Drop that knife, you fool. Oh ! ” Then a cry and a groan（呻吟）.
If I was to save her, it was now or 47 . Perhaps even now I was too late. But if I couldn’t save the girl, I would at least try to bring the murderer to 48 . The car was only a couple of yards away now. I drove the bike right across its 49 , and its brakes（刹车）screamed as the driver tried to pull it over and 50 into the ditch（沟）at the side of the road. The door of the car was pushed open angrily and a dark, evil-looking fellow stepped out .
“You fool!” he shouted as he came towards me with his fist raised to hit me. But I was 51 than he. I put all I could into 52 that would have knocked out Joe Louis. It 53 him right on the point of the chin; his 54 slowly bent under him, and he dropped to the ground without a sound. I rushed to the car, 55 open the door and looked inside. There was no girl there. Suddenly from the back of the car came a voice.
“You have been listening to a radio play, Murder in Hollywood, with Mae Garbo and Clark Taylor. The news will follow immediately . ”
