Last night, I was waiting for a taxi. After 5 minutes, I was 36 . The driver seemed to be angry. I asked him what the 37 was. He said he had just come from the airport without a 38 , which was basically $70 in lost fare.
Over the course of the ride, the anger 39 died down. He mentioned he had read an article saying the 40 people are the ones that give, so he hoped he’d have more 41 to give in his life. I was starting to 42 being with him! We continued talking about why 43 is so beneficial both to the giver and the receiver and different ways to 44 it.
As we arrived at my destination, I 45 my fare. But I pulled out an extra $20 and said, “Since we’ve been talking about this whole time, I wanted to share that 46 with you. I’ve already paid my fare, but here’s an extra little bit. You can 47 it, since you’re already down $70 from the airport. But if you want to experience the 48 of the gift, then tell the next passenger in this taxi that their ride is a gift from another and they can 49 their gratitude(感激) in whatever way.”
The man turned toward me, tears in his eyes, and said, “Sir, I have a better 50 . You give that $20 to a 51 person around here and I’ll treat the next passenger with a 52 ride myself.
Wow. This man was 53 10 minutes ago. I got out and walked around trying to 54 someone who needed help before heading to my destination.
It was an honor meeting that driver and 55 the lesson of how everyone is capable of giving.

The worker I hired to repair my house had just finished a difficult first day on the job. A broken wheel made him an hour late; his ladder (????) fell down when he was painting the roof and now his old truck wouldn' t start. With each problem he shouted angrily, more at himself than at his things. As I drove him home, the man didn't say a word.
I tried talking to the man to kill time. I managed to find out that he had come up from Blue Hills in Victoria with his family six months ago to find a job. This was his first job since moving here. I now knew why his price was lower than any other worker I could find in the local newspaper. He really needed the job. His clothes told me as much.
On arriving, much to my surprise, he invited me in to meet his family. As we walked through his front garden he suddenly stopped at a small tree and placed his hands on it. Then, when he opened the door he completely changed. Instead of his troubled face, there was now a warm smile, hugs for his two children and a kiss for his wife.
The following day, I asked him about the tree.
"That's my trouble tree," he answered. "Work troubles aren't welcome at home with my wife and the children. So I hang them on that tree every night when I come home. Then in the morning I pick them up again. "

Two traveling angels (天使) stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family. The family was rude and refused to let the angels stay in the guest room. Instead the angels were given a space in the cold basement. As they made their bed on the hard floor，the older angel saw a hole in the wall and repaired it. When the younger angel asked why, the older angel replied: “Things aren’t always what they seem.”
The next night the pair came to rest at the house of a very poor, but very hospitable(好客的)farmer and his wife. After sharing what little food they had，the couple let the angels sleep in their bed where they could have a good night’s rest. When the sun came up the next morning，the angels found the farmer and his wife in tears. Their only cow, whose milk had been their only income, lay dead in the field.
The younger angel was very angry and asked the older angel, “How could this happen?” “Why did you not watch out for the cow? The first man had everything, yet you watched over his house,” she accused. “The second family had little but was willing to share everything, and you did not help.”
“Things aren’t always what they seem,” the older angel replied. “When we stayed in the basement，I noticed there was gold stored in that hole in the wall. Since the owner was so greedy and unwilling to share his good fortune，I asked God if I could seal(封口) the wall so he wouldn’t find it. Then last night as we slept in the farmer’s bed，the angel of death(死神) came for his wife. I asked God if the angel could take the cow instead. Things aren’t always what they seem.”
