愛心存在于世界的任何角落，本文乞丐把麥當(dāng)勞留給孩子的行為讓人震撼。

The day was Thankful Thursday. Its a weekly__1__ that my two little girls and I began years ago. Thursday has become our day to go out and make a positive__2__.

My girls shouted “McDonalds, McDonalds” as we__3__ along a busy Houston road. Suddenly I__4__ that almost every crossing I passed through was__5__ by a panhandler（乞丐）. And then it hit me! All these panhandlers must be hungry, too. Perfect! After we ate, I ordered a(an)__6__ fifteen lunches and we set out to deliver them. We would pull__7__ a panhandler, make a contribution, and tell him or her that we hoped things got better. Then wed say, “Oh, __8__ ... heres lunch.”

We handed our final contribution to a small woman and then immediately__9__ back in the opposite direction for home. __10__, the light caught us again and we were stopped at the same crossing where this small woman stood. I was__ 11__ and didnt know quite how to behave.

But you know what ... tonight she is going to have McDonalds!”

I dont know if the kids__ 17__ the tears in my eyes. So many times I had questioned whether our acts of kindness were too__18__ or insignificant to really effect change. __19__ in that moment, I recognized the__20__of Mother Teresas words: “We cannot do great things—only small things with great love.”
