When my son, Mark, was in the third grade, he saved all his pocket money for over three months to buy holiday presents for those he loved. He had
36 twenty dollars.
The third Saturday in December, Mark said he had
37 his list and had his money in his
38 . I drove him to a
39 supermarket. Mark picked up a hand basket and went off on his own
40 I waited patiently reading a book at the front of the store. It
41 Mark over 45 minutes to choose his presents. When he came up to the checkout, the smile on his face was truly
42 . The clerk rang up his purchase

as I
43 looked at the other way. Mark kept
44 his budget and
45 into his pocket for his money.
46 was not there! There was a

hole in his pocket, but no money. Mark stood
47 the store holding his basket, tears rolling down his cheeks. His whole body was
48 with his sobs. Then a(n)
49 thing happened. A
50 shopping in the store came up to Mark. She knelt down and took him
51 her arms. “You would do me the favor if you let me
52 your money,” said the woman. “It would be the most wonderful present you could ever give

me. I only ask you could
53 . One day, when you grow up, I would like you to find someone you can help. I know you feel as good about it
54 I do now when you do help other people.” Mark took the money, tried to dry his
55 and ran to the checkout as fast as he could go.
