The church secretary met me at the door and 　26　 me a special envelope. “We think of you and the kids often,” she said. I opened the envelope and found two grocery certificates(杂货购物券) inside. Each was worth $20.

“Thank you very much,” I said, and as we 　27　 each other, I cried.

“Now I can tell you,” she said, with giant 　37　 in her kinds eyes, “This morning I 　38　 to help someone today, and you walked through my line!”

She reached under the counter for her 　39　 , took out a $ 20 bill and paid for my groceries.
