A young
man, a student in one of our universities, was one day taking a walk with a
professor, who was commonly called the students’ friend, for his kindness to
those who waited on his instructions．
As they went along, they saw 21 in the path a pair of old
shoes, which they supposed to belong to a poor man who was employed in a field
close by, and who had 22
finished
his day’s work．
The
student 23
the
professor, saying, “Let’s play the man a（n） 24 : we will hide his shoes, and we
stay behind those bushes, and wait to see his 25 when he cannot find them.”
“My young friend,” answered the professor, “we should never 26 ourselves at the expense of
the poor．You are 27 , and may give yourself a much
greater pleasure by means of helping the poor man．Put a
28 into each shoe,
and then we will hide ourselves and watch how the 29 affects him.”
The student did so, 30 they both placed
themselves behind the bushes close by．
The poor man soon finished his work, and came 31 the field to the
path where he had left his coat and shoes．While 32 his coat he
slipped his foot into one of his shoes; but feeling something 33 , he bent down to feel what it
was, and found the coin．
Astonishment and wonder were seen upon his face．He
gazed upon the coin, turned it round, and looked at it again and again．He then looked around 34 on all sides, but no person was to be seen．He now put the
money into his pocket, and went on to put on the other shoe; but his surprise
was 35 on finding the
other coin．
His feelings 36
him;
he fell upon his 37
,
looked up to heaven and let out a sincere thanksgiving, in which he spoke of
his wife, sick and 38
, and
his children without bread, whom the timely giving, from some unknown hand,
would save from dying．
The student stood there deeply affected, his eyes filled with tears．“Now,” said the professor,
“Are you
not much better pleased than if you had played your 39 trick?” The youth replied,
“You have taught me a lesson which I will never forget．I feel now the 40 of those words, which I never
understood before: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’”
