    One evening as I was leaving the store, I noticed a man with a very old sleeping bag going through the garbage can nearby. He pulled out fast food trash bags and inspected all that was in the thrown away bags, but he never stopped anyone to beg for money or anything else as they entered or left my store. After he went through the entire trash can, he carefully cleaned up the area and wrapped up the food he found in the dirty hamburger wrapper. My heart literally hurt for him.

    I decided to help him. I got out of my car and asked him if I could buy him something to eat. He thanked and, followed me to the fast food place around the block. I bought him the biggest meal they had on the menu. He didn't ask for anything and the only request was a big glass of hot sweet tea to go with his meal. When I brought him the food, he was so thankful. He told me how much he appreciated the meal.

    I wanted to give him some money. He shook his head. I asked him if I could buy a few meals and put it on a gift card for him. He agreed.

    As I handed him the gift card, he broke down crying. He told me that he prayed for me today. I wasn't sure what he meant （I was guessing he was praying for me for what I did for him ）so I thanked him.

    "NO, I prayed that God would send someone to buy me a hot meal today……and be sent you!" Tears traced down his checks.

    I didn't know what to say……I always pray over my food, but I've never prayed for a meal. I've never doubted that I wouldn't be able to eat……Tears began to fill my eyes. Oh my……how blessed am I…Maybe God used me to answer this man's prayer.

Everybody has a story though I didn't know his, but I had done what God wanted me to. God put him in my path……I knew he did. I took him to my office.

    It was a lovely6day.  It was warm.  In the yard all the flowers came out. We could see lots of dandelions (蒲公英) dancing among the colorful flowers.  How beautiful they were! I watched my mother carelessly bend down by some flowers.  "I think I am going to7all the useless grass." She said.

    "But I like dandelions," I said, "All flowers are 8 —even dandelions".

    My mother looked at me9"Yes, every flower shines in its own way, doesn't it?" she said. I nodded. "So that is10of people, too." She added.

    She had guessed my11 I started to cry and told her the truth.

    Over the next few13I learned to take pride in the role. The big day finally14.A few minutes before the play, my teacher came over to me.  "Your mother asked me to give this to you," she said, passing me a dandelion.  After the play, I took the flower home, laughing that I was perhaps15 person who would keep such a common dandelion.

    One summer I met my best friend Lisa for the first time. I hid behind my mother and she hid behind her grandmother, 1 to look at each other. But soon, we started playing with each other.
