Question

The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. ------ Eleanor Roosevelt
My home is a place of great beauty and agricultural richness, as well as of war and natural disasters. When I was only fourteen years old, I was filled with1 in spite of the terrible surroundings. The families living here, who tried to make their living from the land, 2 great losses.
For the 3 I felt sorry especially, but I4 to be hopeless. I decided that where I was, I could do 5 to help them. I began knocking on every door and saying to each person who6 my knock, “I know that you are7 and give the birds that come to your yard a little8. Please consider me your bird. Give me only a handful of rice each week when I come to your9. I will take it to the temple where it can be given to the10 children.”
No one seemed to11 giving me a handful of rice, even12 they had little themselves. On Sunday, I would go to the13 and give my handfuls of rice to the monks to14 to the children.
One day, I came to a house that had15 to give. I told my story and asked if I could be their bird. The woman called her daughters, and16 gave me fifty cents, as well as the handful of rice! I began to ask for17 and rice from the other “bird feeders”, and they gave them to me. Everyone was happy to be helping those who were suffering, even18 only this small way. The temple was soon able to help everyone who came to it for food and clothing.
“Consider me your bird.” My19 idea had not stopped the war, but anyway, it was20 some peace.
