Three years ago, I got to know a poor lady named Rose. She had no children and lived alone. When I went to visit her, I always took her 1 coffee and food. One day she invited me to have lunch at a restaurant near her home.

2 the way, I began to worry: I knew that she had no money, but if I offered to 3

She told me that the restaurant let people work for a meal 6 they had no money, or would give them a free meal if they were not 7 to work, especially for the disabled (残疾人).

I 8 remember the beautiful afternoon I shared with Rose. We had a meal, and Rose paid for it by her work. The weather was 9 and bright, and everyone’s smile was warm and bright as well.
