There were about fifteen of us drawing and writing with chalk(粉笔) to spread hopeful messages in front of a railway station. We? 1 with only about ten adventurers but as the momentum(动力)? 2 , we gained more energy, creative inspiration, and people. In the beginning, many people stopped? 3 because they were curious about our actions. Later when we went on to chalk up some? 4 colors and phrases on the floor, more people came over to see what we were? 5 doing.I wrote on the floor, “Hope: there is nothing stopping you.”?

One particular man came out of the station,? 6 as if he had a tiring day. Although it was crowded, he 7 to get close to us to read the writing on the floor. He had a 8 on his face. He was looking carefully and nodding his head. He seemed very interested, so I went over to him and asked him to join us. The natural 9 of most people who passed by, including him, was, “No, I don^,t have 10 . I have other plans this evening. Thank you so much.” I left him with a choice, “Well, it?s up to you.” Then I continued to chalk up on the floor.?

About fifteen minutes later, I 11 and found he was still around, clearly attracted by us. He talked to someone on the phone, and I supposed he was 12 his plans for the evening, He then came over and said, “I think I do have a 13 to spread after all.”?

I gave him a piece of chalk and he 14 his own chalking spirit. Now, what is yours? Get a piece of chalk and 15 the chalking spirit from one to another today!?
