8.Several weeks ago I was at a bus station in California waiting in line to buy a ticket.As I stood there I saw a little boy(61)begging (beg) people for money so that he could buy his breakfast.Most of the travelers simply ignored the little boy or gave him a dirty look,(62)buta well-dressed middle-aged man reacted differently.When(63)approached (approach) by the little boy,the gentleman looked at him and (64)quietly (quiet) asked,"How much will you need?"I couldn't hear what the little boy said but watched as the gentleman pulled several notes from his wallet and calmly placed(65)them in the little boy's hands.
I don't know(66)whether/if the little boy actually used the money for his breakfast or for other (67)purposes(purpose).What I do know is that I witnessed two different reactions (68)tothe same situation.I saw people who were either afraid or annoyed.And then I saw the gentleman who was not afraid and treated the homeless little boy as though he were a brother.I decided then and there that,even though we have to be (69)careful (care) in this world,I would rather I (70)behaved (behave) like the gentleman,choosing to trust what is beautiful.
