Question

Last weekend，my kids along with a few other kids from the neighborhood volunteered to help me wash my car. My 10-year-old daughter came up with the idea of 1    other people's cars as well. It was pretty 2   outside and I had no plans to 3   staying in the bright sun. She 4    wanted to give lemonade (檸檬汽水) to passers-by for free. I had seen little kids 5   and sell fresh lemonade for a small cost but not free. Although I felt 6   ，I decided to help her.

7   she asked me, "What if we 8   this a smile car wash? " I couldn't hold back my tears and 9    her and the other kids to go outside the house and come up with 10    ideas. While I kept myself busy drying the car,the gang walked up to me with a(n) 11    with beautiful images of smiles. They had "Free Car Wash" written on it and the 12    of their exercise was "smile". It was pretty moving to see a team of kids ranging 5-11 years with the 13    to do something for others.

All that seemed 14    and came right from their heart. Nothing seemed to 15    to them： their playtime, the heat outside―they just wanted to 16    others and do something nice in the community！

I helped them make some fresh lemonade and brought out some additional 17   to help clean cars. Passers-by were 18   and one even shouted back to them saying "God Bless You,my kids..." One of them even tried giving them 5 dollars,which they refused. A pretty heartwarming 19    ！

I feel blessed by being 20   by such wonderful and loving souls.
