I was doing a big clean-up and my kids were helping. One of my sons came across a handkerchief of mine with a coin inside. I took one look and was immediately   to another time.
In 1991,I had spent five months in Viger(尼日尔),a hot African country. There were many things I found      about this place—the climate and beggars who      shouted “Cadeau! Cadeau!” It means gift.
One      was a lot worse.One day,a friend and I headed for neighboring Burkina Faso to work in a health clinic.However,a motorbike with two men      slowly.Without warning,one of the men     my backpack as the motorbike swept close by.The bag had my passport,money,an airline ticket and other things precious to me.I was in deep      .In the weeks that followed I looked at all   with suspicion.
All I wanted was to leave this place.One day,I was stopped by an old woman “Cadeau!” she cried. I’d had enough! I was sick and tired of the country.I told her firmly,“A thief stole all my money and now I can’t get off your country.” The beggar woman listened carefully and     my words.
“Then I will give you a cadeau,” she announced.Kindly,she placed an old brown coin in my palm. I looked at it   .Living in poverty,she gave me something priceless! I saw then the     beauty of the people of Burkina Faso and    deeply the quiet dignity of the small coin;she turned my perceptions upside down.

My little angel, you are teaching me how selfless real love is!
My wife called, “How long will you be with that      ? Will you come here and make your darling daughter eat her food?” I threw the paper away and       to the place. My daughter, Sindu, sat there, tears welling up in her eyes. In front of her was a big bowl of rice.
  I       the bowl and persuaded: “Sindu, why not take a few mouthfuls of this rice?”
  “Ok, Dad. I will eat — not just a few mouthfuls,       the whole lot of this. But…” Sindu hesitated. “Dad, if I eat this entire rice, will you give me       I ask for?”
  “Promise.” I      .
  After eating the rice painfully, Sindu came to me, her eyes wide with      . Now I became a bit      . “Dear, you shouldn't insist on       a computer or any such       things. Dad does not have that kind of money right now.”      , “I want to have my head shaved off(剃掉), this Sunday!” was her demand(要求), which was far       my belief.
On Monday morning, I       Sindu at her school and watched her walking towards her classroom. She turned around and      . I waved back with a smile. Just then, a boy, who just got out of a car, shouted, “Sindu, please wait for me!” What       me was the hairless head of that boy.
“Sir, your daughter is       indeed!” Without introducing herself, a lady standing beside me continued, “That boy is my son, who lost all his       because of a disease. He       to come back to school fearing the unintentional(无意的)but        teasing(取笑)of the schoolmates. Sindu visited him last week, and promised him that she would take care of the teasing issue. But, I       imagined she would sacrifice her lovely hair for my son!”

I learned how our attitudes made a big difference in our everyday lives from my friend Mary.
She doesn’t have any pets. I happened to see her outside on a -30 degree morning walking a dog. I felt sorry for Mary, out there walking a dog that’s not hers in such cold weather. I thought maybe she was saying to herself, “Yeah, this is why I don’t have any pets! I hate walking dogs.”
Later that day I saw Mary and said, “I saw you out there walking a dog this morning. Are you unhappy because you had to walk it on such a cold day?” To my surprise, she said that she enjoyed getting out there and walking the dog and that she got good exercise because of the dog. She also said she had talked to her brother, the dog’s owner, who was on holiday in Orlando, Florida with his family. He said his children were enjoying Disney World and the resorts (胜地). His four-year-old son had breakfast with Mickey Mouse and said it was the best day in his life. Mary said, “If I can help my brother and his family have a wonderful time relaxing for a week, knowing that their pet is being loved and cared for, what more could I ask for?” She added, “It’s worth it for me to make the sacrifice (牺牲) so that they can go and have fun.”

My husband and I had just opened up a pet sitting business earlier that year. Our customers had slowly risen from three to thirty a month. We were busy through those hot summer months, driving between visits. Our services were strictly held at the pet owner’s home. It was almost too busy for the two of us, but we were making good money! 
We asked pet owners new to our services to phone two weeks ahead so we had enough time to meet the owners and pets at their homes and make any following meetings before the owner leaves.
One day, we decided to take on a new customer just two days before they would leave. We met the family, filled in a form, and spent some time with their dog, Hercules. He playfully jumped on us and touched our hands and arms using his tongue. The family laughed as he did this, showing us that he was very loving.
Two days later I appeared at the house, alone. I came up to Hercules and said hello happily. I filled up his water bowl and cleaned any messes he made. Meanwhile, he was so lovely sitting beside. I thought this would be the good picture to send to the owners, a usual service. After the light and “click” sound went off, Hercules rushed at me. I didn’t know what had just happened until I noticed the drops of blood. I ran out and did the only thing — calling my husband.
Then I went to neighbors for help. My husband arrived after ten minutes. The helpful neighbor and my husband led Hercules back into his pen (圈). Then my husband and I took off to the hospital.
I must have looked like I was shot when I walked into the hospital. The nurses quickly moved me to a room. I asked the doctor in a weak but playful manner, “ Am I going to die?” He replied, “Finally.”

Back in the 15th century, in a tiny village in Germany, lived a family with eighteen children. Eighteen! In order       to keep food on file table, the father, a goldsmith(金匠)by      , worked almost eighteen hours a day at his trade. Despite their seemingly       condition, two of the eldest children had a dream. They both wanted to pursue their talent for art,       they knew well that their father would never be able to       either of them to study at the Academy.
After many long discussions at night in their       bed, the two boys finally worked out an agreement. They would toss(掷)a coin. The       would go down into the nearby mines and, with his earnings,       his winning brother for the academy. Then, in four years, he would support the other one. Then Albrecht Durer won the toss and       to Nuremberg. Albert went down into the dangerous mines and, for the next four years,       his brother, whose work at the academy was almost an immediate sensation(轰动)- By the time he graduated, he was beginning to       considerable fees for himself.
When the young artist       home and said to his brother, “And now, Albert, blessed brother of mine, now it is your      . Now you can go to the Academy to pursue your dream, and I will       you. ”Albert rose and wiped tile       from his cheeks. “No, brother. I cannot go to Nuremberg. It is too       for me. Look…look what four years in the mines have done to my      ! I cannot even hold a glass, much less make delicate lines on canvas (画布)  __    a pen or a brush.”
