When my son, Mark, was in the third grade, he saved all his pocket money for over three months to buy holiday presents for those he loved. He had  36  twenty dollars.
The third Saturday in December, Mark said he had  37  his list and had his money in his  38  . I drove him to a  39  supermarket. Mark picked up a hand basket and went off on his own  40  I waited patiently reading a book at the front of the store. It  41  Mark over 45 minutes to choose his presents. When he came up to the checkout, the smile on his face was truly  42  . The clerk rang up his purchase as I  43  looked at the other way. Mark kept  44  his budget and  45  into his pocket for his money.  46  was not there! There was a hole in his pocket, but no money. Mark stood  47  the store holding his basket, tears rolling down his cheeks. His whole body was  48  with his sobs. Then a(n)  49  thing happened. A  50  shopping in the store came up to Mark. She knelt down and took him  51  her arms. “You would do me the favor if you let me  52  your money,” said the woman. “It would be the most wonderful present you could ever give me. I only ask you could  53  . One day, when you grow up, I would like you to find someone you can help. I know you feel as good about it  54  I do now when you do help other people.” Mark took the money, tried to dry his  55  and ran to the checkout as fast as he could go.
