The young man still wanted to ask something, while the wise man 32 him and said, “When we are talking about the meaning of today, we have 33 a lot of it．”

It began a year ago, around Christmas. Every time I drove down our street, I __31__ an old man sitting in his front yard. He was usually smoking or drinking, and looking rather unhappy. One day, while I was driving past him with my __32__, I decided to wave at him with a lot of excitement. __33__, when he noticed me waving at him, he looked a bit shocked. Then, I saw his hand go up and he waved back.
“__34__ did you wave at him?” my daughter asked.
I told her it’s just an act of kindness that doesn’t __35__ anything. It gives both him and me a feeling of joy. My daughter replied that she felt a bit uncomfortable to wave to a __36__, but next time she would try it as well.
We liked close to the old man, __37__ we saw him rather often. Whenever we drove by, both of us would start waving at him and, pretty soon, the old man started __38__ at everyone who passed by his house.
One time, my daughter’s friend came to visit and she told my daughter that she saw this strange old man near our home wave at her very __39__. She mentioned that she waved back, although she didn’t know __40__, and it felt really good. As soon as my daughter heard this, she told her friend the __41__ of how all the waving began. Her friend answered: “Tell your mom that’s really cool!”
Other friends gave similar __42__. This taught my daughter that an act of kindness can be natural and __43__, if you really want to do it. It showed us how giving happiness can do good to __44__ the giver and the receiver.
Moved by the old man’s actions, we’re planning to give our waving neighbor a thank-you card to express our __45__ for his exciting waves. We are really thankful for him sharing his simple joy with all who pass by his house.
