As I got 18__, I saw a man leaning up against the wall outside the church. He was almost lying down 19 he was asleep. His hat was 20 down so you could not see his face. He wore shoes that looked 30 years old, too 21 for his feet, with holes all over them and his toes 22 out. I guessed this man was 23 and asleep, so I walked on 24 through the doors of the church. We all talked for a few minutes, and someone 25 the man lying outside. People whispered but no one took 26 to ask him to come in, 27 me. A few moments later church began.
