    Once a little boy wanted to find Love. He knew it was a long trip to where Love lived, so he got his things 1 with some pizzas and drinks and started off. When he passed three streets, he saw an old woman 2 in the park and watching some birds.

    She looked very 3. The boy gave her a 4 . She took it and smiled at him.

    The smile was so beautiful that he wanted to see it again, so he gave her a Coke. She smiled once again. The boy was very happy.

    They sat there all the afternoon, eating and smiling, but they said 5. When it got dark, the boy decided to leave. But after he walked a few meters, he 6, ran back to the old woman and gave her a hug. The woman gave him her biggest 7ever.

    When the boy opened the door of his house, his mother was surprised to see the8 on his face and asked what made him so glad. The boy answered, "I had lunch with Love. She has got the most beautiful smile in the world." At the same time, the old woman's son was also surprised at his mother's pleasure and asked why.

    "I ate a pizza in the park with 9," she said, "and he is much younger than I expected."

    If the world is 10 of love, we can enjoy a better life.
