A gift in a wrong place brings unexpected happiness.
Since 1cameto my new neighborhood,1 have been glad to meet a few neighbors. They seem to be quite1 people. For Christmas, I thought I would do2 nice for each of the neighbors that I know. I sat down and counted.
There were nine neighbors, and I also knew which houses they lived in.
However, I decided to3 one more person to my list, the lady I met every morning walking to work as I drove down the street. She always smiled at me,4 I had no idea which house she lived in.
My gift idea was to make small5 baskets and leave them on each of my neighbors' front porches (门廊) on the night of Christmas Eve. I kept the last one for the friendly lady, since I was still not sure where she lived — 6 the house where I met her each morning. Finally, I decided to put it there. My neighbors really enjoyed the baskets and a couple even came by to7 me.
This morning 8 my way to work, I put my mail in the mailbox and noticed a Thank You card. I opened it and read the 9 which really made me surprised.
The card said, "Thank you for those lovely apples and strawberries you left on the porch of Tod. He 10 on January 19th, but he never stopped11 how nice it was that someone remembered him in his time of illness. He really enjoyed it." I was very surprised. I didn't know who Tod was or that 12 had been seriously ill. I left that nice lady's basket on Tod's porch by accident. I believe that Tod never expected to have that basket. I feel13 that the nice lady did not get a basket from me this Christmas, but I believe that if she knew what happened, she would 14 me.
I feel lucky to have helped Tod be more cheerful in his last days. This just makes me further believe that sometimes 15 in life are beautiful.
