I didn’t have a job at the time and I was getting help from the government. One day, I was walking to a  36 to get some food when I noticed a little man     37  on a bench beside the store. I walked past him but could not 38     thinking about him.  So I 39 around and went up to him and asked him if he was  40 . He said no. He said he hadn’t  41 for two days. I told him, “Don’t     42 . I’ll be right back.” Before leaving, I  43  him what he would like to eat. He said it didn’t 44 . Then I asked him to tell me what he hadn’t had for a long     45 . He said “a Pepsi”. I went into the store and got him some bread, lunch meat, chips, cookies —  46 food for a few days. The store didn’t have Pepsi,  47     I had to go to another one. I used the 48  of what I had to get him a Pepsi from a store far 49 .

After a long time, when I brought him the 50 and the Pepsi, he cried. With     51  in his eyes, he said, “You are my angel.” When he  52 to hug me, I had a strange  53 — he was my angel, too. I couldn’t even  54  the feeling clearly. Maybe because he gave me a / an 55  to help him, which helped me to understand that I also had abilities to help others.
