Two weeks ago， on a hot summer afternoon， I was about to cross a little busy road when I noticed an old grandpa with a heavy bag on his back just a few meters from me． He walked painfully and it looked as if his legs had no strength to even（1）c him． A few minutes later， I realized I'd forgotten to cross the road． And he'd seen me looking at him．

Then I asked where he came from， he replied（6）w that he was from the countryside about 10kilometers from here and came to visit a relative． I was shocked because he never looked as if he could take even two steps without（7）f ． So， without a second thought I called a taxi for him． The grandpa wasn't（8）r for the ride， for he had no money． I paid for his（9）j and asked the driver to drop him at hisplace safely．
When I turned to look at the grandpa who said thanks to me with a few drops of happy tears on his face， many unforgettable（10）m of my grandparents flashed in my mind， making me feel like crying．
