As a saying goes, every bean has its black. It is impossible to make no mistakes all one’s life. My grandpa Nybakken, a carpenter, is no   1  . Several decades ago, he made a mistake – a（n）   2  mistake, though.

On a cold Saturday, Mother’s father was building some wooden cases for the clothes his   3  was sending to an orphanage（孤儿院）in China. On his way home, he   4  into his shirt pocket to find his glasses, but they were gone. He remembered putting them there that morning, so he drove back to the church. His search proved   5  .

When he   6  replayed his earlier actions, he realized what happened. The glasses had slipped out of his pocket unnoticed and fallen into one of the cases, which he had nailed shut. His brand new glasses, having   7  him $ 20 that very morning, were heading for China! He had to drive home   7  .

Several months later, the director of the orphanage came to give a speech on Sunday night at my grandfather’s church,  8  Grandpa and his family also attended.

“But most of all, ”he said, “I must thank you for the   10  you sent last year. You see, the bandits（土匪）had just   11  through the orphanage, destroying everything, including my glasses. I was desperate.”

“  12  I had money, there was simply no way of   13  those glasses. Along with not being able to see well, I experienced headaches every day. Then your cases arrived. When my staff   14  the covers, they found a pair of glasses lying on top.”

Then, still gripped（吸收）with the   15  of it all, he continued: “Folks, when I tried   1  the glasses, it was as though they had been made just for me! I want to thank you for being a part of that!”

The people listened,  17  at the special glasses. But the director surely must have   18  their church with another, they thought. There were no glasses on their   19  of items to be sent overseas.

But sitting quietly in the back, with tears  20  down his face, an ordinary carpenter realized the Master Carpenter had used him in an extraordinary way.
