Every day as I drove through town, I saw a one-legged man going through the dustbins next to McDonalds looking for food. It was only a month      Christmas, starting to get cold and I could not help      him.
So I bought a brush, loads of bread, cans of fish, and added a blanket and sweatshirts. I made a box up like a present and went      this man. I saw him hobbling (蹒跚) away from the dustbins. I pulled over, took the box and      to him. I said, “I would like to give you a Christmas present, and there are some food      here and some things you might be able to use.”
He sidestepped around me and said, “No, thank you, I just had lunch. I don’t need      .”
Then he hobbled on down the sidewalk,      me standing there in tears. I took the box down to a little shop that gave things out to the      and homeless and told them what had happened and asked that they should give the      to someone who could use it. The person there told me not to be      and they thought my feelings were hurt as I was        crying. I told her I was not crying for me but for him because what I had done      his dignity(尊严) by treating him like a person in need. I was so      .
A few years later I was able to     in St. Anthony’s Dining Room in San Francisco. These people had to stand in        for up to 6 hours to receive the      food they could get. We took one tray of food at a time, and treated them      they were in a restaurant ordering a meal they were paying for and when we took our      , we would sit down with one of them and talk and      our food with someone if we had too much.
From my own experience, I have learned a great lesson.      help is sometimes harder than giving it.
