My friend Jenny from Germany spent some time traveling in India. She
36 the country so much that she always got attracted to it. While there, she stayed with Leela, her friend who was Indian.
37 the gazes that she got as a foreigner, Jenny always had language problems. It was very difficult for her to
38 in this new environment and culture that had so many subtle (细微的)
39 from her own country.
One day, a
40 thing happened. Along with Leela, she went to visit an orphanage. All the children there were tiny; each one fell
41 between the ages of fifteen days to one-and-a-half years old.
After some initial(最初的)
42 , Jenny slowly went to the kids and sat beside them. After some time, one of the kids smiled at her. She felt

She slowly held the child and started singing a rhyme in

46 after her. The words that escaped the little mouth were much different from those that Jenny hummed, but the
47 was the same.
Wanting to join in the

51 problems here. We speak; we communicate!”
And she continued with her rhyme
52 she didn’t want to disturb the child’s smile.
That day, it was
53 for Leela and the others in the orphanage to see such a heartwarming scene. In that moment, she understood: we're all simply human, and we have the ability to
54 with each other; it's
55 , and comes from deep inside.
