It was a winter morning, just before Christmas, while most people were warming up their cars, my husband, Trevor, had to ride his bike 4 kilometers away from home to work. On his     (arrive), he parked his bike outside the back door      usual. After 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone,       was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, and also the bike was used     (get) groceries, saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live. I was so sad     I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, and then called my husband to fetch    . Once again my husband had a way to get to and     his job. It really is     honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before. People say that a smile can    (pass) from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect on our lives because it   (strong) our faith in humanity. And it has influenced us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with others.
