Like most July days, it was hot. I stepped into a tiny ice-cream shop to ?　1　? a chocolate ice-cream. It was a very ?　2　? store with little round tables and chairs.

As I entered, I found a very old woman bent ?　3　? a table near the door. Her ?　4　? was so badly bent by some sadness that her face nearly ?　5? the table top. I sat down facing her a couple of ?　6? away.

“Poor woman,” I thought. “What does she get ?　7　? life? Why does God let people live so long past their youth?”

As I thought, another aged lady entered the shop and sat down with her. Soon the two of them were ?　8　? childhood days. They talked of how little the shop had changed in 70 years. In minutes, the two of them were shaking with laughter.

I looked ?　9　? at the first woman, then in the ?　10　? on a nearby wall, catching a picture of myself. I was ?11　? a dirty shirt. She was well dressed in white, her ?　12　? shining with gold rings. I was ?13?.She was laughing, smiling. I was putting the ?　14? of my life together. She had millions of ?15? memories to recall. I sat alone. She was ?16　? the day with a good friend.　I was ?　17　? worried about getting old.　She was old, but it wasn't ?　18? her.

As I left the shop, I ?19　? my foolish question about God letting people live past their youth.?　20?,that woman was more alive, more sensitive to life, than I was. Age has not bent her spirit.
