A man was driving at 70 miles in a 40-mile zone, when a   36  came behind him. Right away the man started thinking of   37  to give.

As the policeman came to him, he said, “Hi, officer, I guess you  38  me a little bit over the speed limit. I was in a rush to get   39  , to be with my wife and kids. You know my younger son wasn’t feeling too 40  when I left home this morning. I’m afraid he’s ill.”

The policeman said, “Well, I guess so,” and started   41  something in his notebook. As minutes went by, he could see from the side view mirror, the police-man was   42  writing. When the man was wondering why he hadn’t asked for his driving   43  so far, the policeman came to his window,   44  him a piece of paper, and returned to his car without saying a single word. The man wondered: how much was this   45  going to be? However, the man was   46  it was not a ticket at all and he began to   47  :

“I had a daughter who was   48  by a speeding car at the age of six by a speeding driver. He got a fine, a few months in   49  , and then was free, free to hug his two daughters. I only had one, and now I have to   50  until I get to heaven before I can hug her again. I have tried to   51  that man a thousand times, and I thought I had. Maybe I really did forgive (原諒) him. So pray (祈禱) for me, and be 52  when you drive again. My son is all I have been left with.”

The man was completely   53  and could not move for the next few minutes. When finally he did, he drove   54 , even a few miles   55  the speed limit, praying for forgiveness.
