I 3 my car and got out, walking up to this old man and asked, “ How are you doing?” He looked at me surprisingly, just like I was going to 4 him, and he said, "l am fine, just making a(n) 5 .” He looked embarrassed as he said, “I live on the 6 ." I could see that he was 7 and had no family members around to help him. The one thing that 8 me was that he never asked me for anything, no money or food.
This reminded me of many monks who had given up all their 9 and owned nothing but a 10 bowl and maybe a piece of cloth for clothing. I asked him 11 it was fine if I could give him some 12 . He looked up and said 13 ,“ Well,anything helps. I don’t care.” I gave him a folded 50-dollar bill 14 in small notes so he couldn't see it yet. He thanked me 15 and said, "God bless you t sir. ” I asked him if he wanted to come in and 16 the basketball game, “I go to UMW and our women’s team is pretty good," I added, “ You should come and watch the game if you have time." He nodded. I walked hack to my car, but looked back. I saw him 17 with his backpack and start walking toward the 18 .
My giving was like a ripple in a(n) 19 . One act may be small, but if you drop a stone in a river, it will make hundreds of ripples 20 outward and comfort others.
