問題詳情:
It was a cold evening and my daughter and I were walking up Broadway. I didn’t notice a guy sitting inside a cardboard box. But Nora did. She wasn’t even four, but she 41 at my coat and said, “That man’s cold, Daddy, 42 we take him home?”
I don’t remember my reply. But I do remember a sudden 43 feeling inside me. I had always been delighted at how much my daughter noticed in her 44 , whether it was 45 in flight or children playing. But now she was noticing 46 and beggary.
A few days 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 47 it to an elderly person. It was quick and easy. I 48 us up. Nora was 49 about it. She could understand the importance of food, so she could easily see how 50 our job was. When Sunday came, she was ready, but I had to 51 myself to leave the house to fetch the food package. On the way to the school, I fought an urge to turn 52 . The Sunday paper and coffee were waiting for me at home. Why do this? 53 , we phoned the elderly person we’d been appointed. She 54 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. 55 inside, I saw that the apartment belonged to someone poor. Our hostess showed us some photos. Nora played and when it came time to say good-bye, we three hugged, I walked home in tears.
Professionals call such a(n) 56 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 57 that’s good for others as well as for yourself? Nora and I regularly serve meals to needy people and 58 clothes for the homeless. Yet, as I’ve 59 her grow over these past four years, I still wonder --- which of us has 60 more?
