Question

I was reading a notice at the entrance to my college dormitory when a girl came up to me and said “Do you _26_ a quarter? I’m one short of putting my laundry(刚洗好的衣物) in the dryer(烘干机). ”
I _27_ to think about it for a few seconds and considered whether I’d be _28_ to give a quarter away. I found myself _29_ her thinking about why she didn’t _30_ four quarters down from her room with her as if she had _31_ to be one short so she could ask someone else for it. (Later I knew _32_ that was not the case.)
But I didn’t have any reason to _33_her. Then I responded “Yeah I think I have the only one ” though fully _34_ that I had three. “Here you go ” I said with a smile. “Thanks ” she responded _35_ that she could have clean clothes to wear the next morning.
A few moments later the girl _36_ and gave a dollar bill to me. “Why are you giving this to me?” I asked _37_. “Oh because you were kind to me so I’m just giving back the _38_.”
It’s just a dollar but I felt it was _39_. More so because I hadn’t given that quarter with such nice _40_ the way she gave that dollar to me. I felt like it was the first time I ever _41_ something greater in return for something so_42_ that I had given. I saw the power of kindness and generosity in a _43_way.
I thought it was so worth giving that quarter away. Giving and _44_ don’t usually happen hand-in-hand _45_ when it does like it did this time it makes one think about why generosity is so powerful in the first place.
