Question

One day, two little boys were walking along the road. They overtook a woman carrying a large basket of apples.

The boys thought the woman looked very ________ and tired, so they said, “Are you going to town? If you are, we will carry your ________.”

“Thank you,” replied the woman, “You are very kind. You see I am weak and ill.” Then she told them that she was a widow (寡婦), and had a lame (跛足的) son to raise.

She lived in a cottage three miles away, and was now going to the market to ________ the apples which grew ________ the only tree in her garden. She wanted the money to ________ her rent.

“We are going the ________ way you are,” said the boys. “Let us have the basket” And they took hold of it, one on each side, and trudged (艱難地走) along with ________ hearts.

The poor widow looked glad, and said that she hoped their mother would not be ________ with them. “Oh, no,” they replied, “Our mother has ________ us to be kind to everybody, and to be useful in any way that we can.”

She then offered to give them a few of the ripest apples for their ________. “No thank you,” said they, “We do not want any pay for want we have done.”

Upon arriving at home, she told her lame ________ what had happened on the road, and they were both made happier that day by the ________ of the two boys.

The other day, I saw a little girl stop and ________ a piece of orange peel (果皮), which she threw into the gutter. “I wish the boys would not throw orange peel on the sidewalk,” said she. “Someone may be on it, and ________.”

Perhaps some may say that these are ________ things. So they are. But we must not wait for chances to do great things. We must begin with little labors of love.
