When he was driving home one evening on a country road，he saw an old lady on the side of the road. He 　　 36　 in front of her car and got out. Even with the 　　 37　 on his face, she was worried. He looked poor and hungry. He knew 　　 38　 　she felt. He said，“I am here to help you， madam. Why don’t you wait in the car where it’s warm? 　　 39　 ， my name is Joe.”

She had a 　　 40　 　tire. Joe crawled under the car，changed the tire. But he got 　　 41　 　and his hands hurt. She could not thank him 　　 42　 　and asked him how much she 　　 43　 　him. He told her that if she really wanted to 　　 44　 　him back，the next time she saw someone who needed help，she could give that person the 　　 45　 　they needed.

She drove off. A few miles down the road the lady saw a small 　　 46　 . She went in. The waitress had a sweet smile， and was nearly eight months

　　 47　 . The old lady 　　 48　 　how someone like her who seemed could be so kind to a 　　 49　 . Then she remembered Joe. After the lady finished her meal， the waitress went to get her 　　 50　 　from a hundred-dollar bill. But she stepped right out the door.

When the waitress came back，she noticed something 　　 51　 　on a napkin（餐巾纸），“I am helping you because someone once helped me. If you really want to pay me back，here’s what you do—Do not let the 　　 52　 　of love end with you.”

That night when she got home，she was 　　 53　 　the money and what the lady had written. She and her husband needed money with the baby 　　 54　 　next month. She knew how worried her husband was，and as he lay 　　 55　 　next to her，she whispered, “Everything’s going to be all right， I love you， Joe.”

I was growing tired of helping the numerous people who lost their way and parked in front of my house. Almost every night I was　 1 during a good night’s sleep to help someone passing through. Many times I was taken for granted by penniless motorists who did not 　 2 thank me for the help they received and some even 　 3 that I didn’t do more.

One day, a young man with a-week-old beard 　 4 out of a broken-down automobile. He had no money and no food. He asked if I could give him some work,　 5 him gasoline and a meal. I told him that 　 6 he wanted to work he could cut the grass, but　 7 the work wasn’t necessary.

Though sweaty and hungry, he worked hard.　 8 working all day, he sat in the shade and rested. I 　 9 him for his work and gave him　 10 money he needed. I then offered him a little extra money for a task particularly well done, but he　 11

I never saw him again. He probably 　 12 I helped him out that day,　 13 that is not the way it was. I didn’t help him; he helped me. He helped me to 　 14 in people again. He helped me to once 　 15 want to do something for those who are in 　 16 . I wish I could thank him for restoring some of my faith in the 　 17 goodness of others and for giving me back a little of the optimism（乐观） I had 　 18 . Because of him, I once again felt part of a golden chain of 　 19 that binds us to others.

I 　 20 have fed his body that day, but he fed my soul.
