Jim, a successful businessman, told the experience of his childhood.

When he was 12, his parents 　46 . He was alone and didn’t get on well with others. People always laughed 　47 him. No one showed kindness to him. His only friend was a dog named Tige.

One day as he walked down the street, a young lady was walking in front of him. Suddenly one of her bags dropped from her arms. As she stopped 　48 , she dropped other bags. He came to help her.“Thank you, dear! You are a nice little boy!”She said kindly, smiling.

A special feeling came to him. These were 　49 kind words he had ever heard. He watched her 　50 she went far away, and he whistled（吹口哨）to his dog and went directly to the river nearby.

“Thank you, dear! You are a nice little boy!”he repeated the woman’s words. Then in a low 　51 he said to his dog,“You are a nice little dog!”Tige raised 　52 ears as if（似乎）it understood.

“Uhum! Even a dog likes it!”he said,“Well, Tige, I won’t say unkind words to you any more.”Tige waved its tail happily.

The boy thought and thought. Finally he looked at himself in the river. He saw 　53 but a dirty boy. He washed his face 　54 . Again he looked. He saw a clean nice boy. He was amazed (震惊). From then on, he had a new life.

After telling this, the businessman stopped for a while, and then he said,“Ladies and gentlemen, this is the very place where that kind woman planted in me the first seed (种子) of kindness. All of us should learn about kindness. 　55 a great power it has!” If you show kindness to others, you will be an able man.
