There is a small shop about 200 meters from where I live that sells groceries, meat and other basic necessities. About 10 yearsa ago, there was a beggar who would go into the shop every day and ask the owner for a 　1 . The owner, 2 he would love to help, simply didn’t have any jobs availabe, so he kept 　3 the man’s office.

This situation continued 　4 for a few months, until the owner 　5 to give the homeless man a job which 　6 sweeping outside the shop. Every single day form 5 a.m, the homeless man was there doing the very 　7 he could for the 　8 , making it the community’s favourite, even though it did earn him pennies. 9 , the owner saw how good a job the man was doing and gave him a job working 　10 a cashier(收银员). He was watched closely to make sure that he didn’t 　11 any of the money received from the sales. He was still homeless, after all. The homeless man did a/an 　12 job as a cashier for over 2 years, and did such a good job that he was promoted to 　13 the finances for the whole shop.

To my 　14 , this was the arrangements up until 2 years ago, when the owner 　15 . In his will, he only had one 　16 , to give the whole shop to the now stable, “homeless” man. Now, I could walk into that shop and see him working as hard as 　17 , with his own business that is still 　18 and active 10 years after getting his job as a sweeper.

From this story, we can probably get the inspiration: work hard and give everything your best effort, even if it isn’t your 　19 situation, it very well may turn out to 　20 some day in the future.
