Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people 　19　 to give money to the blind boy.　　That afternoon the man came to see 　 20 　 things were. The boy recognized his footsteps (脚步声) and asked, "Were you the one who 　 21　 my sign this morning? What did you write?"

The man said, "I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a 　 22　 way. "What he had written was," Today is a beautiful day, 　23　 I cannot see it. "

Both the 　 24　 told people that the boy was blind. But the first sign simply 　25　　people to help by throwing some money into the 　26　 . The second one, however, told people that they were able to enjoy the 27 of the day, but the boy couldn't 　 28　 he was blind.

As I sat down to dinner yesterday the phone rang. It was a child’s voice on the other end. He explained that they had found a　 16　 . From his description I knew it was my daughter’s.

I asked them to　 17　 a few minutes. I went out and drove my car to the place where they were. When I 18　 , I saw a group of five children, aged about 7 to 9. They told me　 19　 and where they’d found the purse. They also told me some bigger kids had tried to take it　 20　 they hadn’t let them do that.

How nice and　 21　 they were! Since we were near a　 22　 , I asked if they would like sweets as a reward (奖赏). They looked　 23　 maybe because they had never expected a reward. I had a few coins in my pocket, so I gave them one each. And　 24　 of them said thank you. They were so lovely. I told them I had another three pounds in coins — not enough to give them one each, but maybe they could　 25　 . To my surprise, they said, “Oh,　 26　 ! We’ve got enough. You　 27　 those.”

As I left, I heard them　 28　 talking about what sweets they could buy. When I got back home, there was a　 29　 on TV talking about some crimes (犯罪活动) children had committed. It painted a terrible picture of youngsters. I　 30　 the channel. When it came to (当说到) kids of these days, I knew better!
