　　(一)

　　It was a cold night in Washington, D．C., and I was heading back to the hotel when a man approached me. He __1__ if I would give him some __2__ so he could get something to eat. I'd read the signs: “Don't give money to beggars as most of them are __3__.” So I shook my head and kept __4__.

　　I wasn't prepared for a reply, but with no __5__， he followed me and said, “I really am homeless and I really am __6__！ You can come with me and watch me eat！” But I kept on walking.

　　The incident kept __7__ me for the rest of the week. I had money in my pocket and it wouldn't have __8__ me to hand over a dollar or two even if he hadn't been a real beggar. On a freezing cold night, I assumed the __9__ of a fellow human being.

　　Flying back to Anchorage, I couldn't help __10__ of him. I tried to reason my __11__ to help by supposing government agencies, churches and charities were there to feed him. __12__， you're not supposed to give money to beggars.

　　Somewhere over Seattle, I started to write my weekly garden column for The Anchorage Daily News. Out of the blue, I __13__ up with an idea. Bean's Cafe, a local charity service kitchen, feeds hundreds of hungry local people every day. Why not try to get all my __14__ to plant one row of vegetables or flowers in their __15__ for Bean's Cafe? It's clean __16__ simple.

　　We didn't keep records back then, but the idea began to take __17__. Folks would fax me or call when they took something in. It's food for the spirit and comfort for my __18__.　

　　__19__ more and more people participated, new variations cropped up. Many companies gave free seeds to customers and displayed the logo for the programme. Donations poured in. It was then that I could really stop feeling __20__.

　　(二)

　　Even when I sit here and write this story, I am still smiling. The past few weeks have been rather __21__， but when a huge set of smile cards arrived in my mailbox the other day, having __22__ all the way from the United States to my home in the Netherlands. I knew things were about to __23__.

　　I found myself thinking about where to __24__ the cards as I went to bed that night—the train, benches at the station, libraries, mailboxes, or the gym. I almost thought about any __25__ of putting them.

　　I got up and __26__， I went straight to the shop to buy some candy，__27__ to leave them as anonymous(匿名的) gifts for people on the early morning train.

　　There were usually few people on the train. However，__28__ usual

　　early morning travel, my train today was extremely __29__. An elderly man must have seen me searching for a place to leave a smile card, because he asked me if I was looking for something.

　　Right then and there I decided that my __30__ smile card would not be anonymous. With a smile and red cheeks with __31__， I told him that I had found what I was looking for，__32__ him the candy and smile card I had in my hands. He had only just finished reading the card as I arrived at my __33__. He was still smiling and enjoying his candy when I __34__ at him on the platform.

　　__35__ having worked a full day, I was feeling joyful. Before I entered my __36__， I delivered a few more smile cards and candy to neighbours' mailboxes. I added an extra candy bar for one neighbour who was in a __37__ financial situation, but he was working hard to get the best for his young son. I figured they both __38__ a tasty little treat.

　　I am __39__ from my smile card adventure, and am even happier to have smile cards __40__， and quite a few ideas as to where to drop them. I believe giving smile cards to each other will bring all of us great joy.
