On a winter day, it rained heavily. While I was walking from the library at the end of my 　31 break, a man was walking towards me with two huge 　32 of brochures.

I thought, “What 　33 is that man trying to do? Carrying all those things?” Then all of a sudden he 　34 them all! What a terrible mess with hundreds of brochures all over the 　35 in front of me! “Oh, no,” I thought. The man 　36 his head helplessly in the rain and started trying to 　37　 all of the brochures up. I couldn’t believe how many people walked 　38 as if nothing had happened.

I thought, “I am not going to be one of those people who don’t 　39　 this man.” I wondered what I would 　40 people to react if I were that man. So, 　41 it was the end of my lunch time from work and I would be 　42 if I stopped to help him, I didn’t mind. If I 　43 what happened, I was sure my 　44 wouldn’t mind too much. So, I helped him gather them all. Then I asked if he would like a 　45　 carrying a box to where he went. He said yes gratefully.

I carried one of the boxes. The box I had to carry was very 　46 —as I’m quite a short and thin girl—but I didn’t 　 47　 . We got there and he thanked me very much for helping him 　48 . He also gave me one of these brochures about all the walks in and around the Bay of Plenty.

What is a more 　49 way to spend some time than helping someone else when you can? Luckily, I wasn’t that late back to work, so nobody even 　50 it at all!
