I don’t remember my reply. But I do remember a sudden_______feeling inside me. I had always been delighted at how much my daughter noticed in her  _______, whether it was  _______ in flight or children playing. But now she was noticing  _______ and beggary.

A few days later, I saw an article in the newspaper about volunteers who picked up a food package from a nearby school on a Sunday morning and _______ it to an elderly person. It was quick and easy. I  _______us up. Nora was _______ about it. She could understand the importance of food, so she could easily see how ________  our job was. When Sunday came, she was ready, but I had to ________ myself to leave the house to fetch the food package. On my way to the school, I fought an urge to turn ________. The Sunday paper and coffee were waiting for me at home. Why do this?  ________, we phoned the elderly person we’d been appointed. She  ________us right over.

The building was in a bad state. Facing us was a silver-haired woman in an old dress. She took the package and asked us to come in. Nora ran inside. I unwillingly followed. ________  inside, I saw that the apartment belonged to someone poor. Our hostess showed us some photos. Nora played and when it came time to say goodbye, we three hugged, I walked home in tears.
