An Act of Kindness
Mother was making a dish for Mrs. Smith
next door , 36 six-year-old Susie came up and
37 why Mommy was doing so .
“Because Mrs. Smith is very sad: she lost
her daughter and she has a broken heart. We need to take care of
her 38 .And when someone is very , very sad , they have
trouble doing the 39 things like making dinner or other
housework . Because we’re part of a 40 and Mrs Smith is
our neighbor , we need to do some thing to help her. Mrs Smith won’t
41 be able to talk with or hug her daughter or do all those
wonderful things that mommies and daughters do together. You’re a very smart
girl , Susie ; maybe you’ll think of some way to help take care of Mrs. Smith.”
Susie thought seriously about this
42 and how she could do her part in 43 Mrs.
Smith. A few minutes later , Susie knocked on her door. After a few moments ,
Mrs Smith 44 the knock with a “Hi , Susie”.
Susie noticed that Mrs. Smith didn’t have
that 45 musical quality about her voice when she
greeted someone, and she also looked as though having been
46 because her eyes were weary and swollen(腫脹). “What can I do for you ,
Susie ?” asked Mrs. Smith.
“My mommy says that you lost your daughter
and you’re very , very sad with a broken heart.” Susie 47 her
hand out shyly. In it was a 48 . “This is for your
49 . Mrs. Smith knelt down and hugged Susie , choking back her
tears. 50 her tears she said ,”thank you , darling girl, this
will help a lot.”
Mrs. Smith accepted Susie’s act of kindness
and took it one step 51 . She bought a small key ring
with a picture frame ---- 52 designed to carry keys and
proudly display a family portrait at the same time. Mrs. Smith placed Susie’s Band
–Aid in the frame to 53 herself to heal a little every time
she sees it. She wisely knows that healing takes time and support . It has
become her 54 for healing , 55
forgetting the joy and love she experienced with her laughter.
