Jennie sat at her window as usual, looking out upon
the street, with a look of sadness on her face,“What a long day this is going
to be!”
Then she saw a little boy running down the street,
swinging his schoolbag. Looking up to the window, he took off 1 hat
and bowed with a bright, pleasant smile.
“What a nice 2 ,”said
Jennie to herself, as the boy ran out of sight.“It seems like having the
sunshine. I wish everybody who goes by would look up 3 smile.”
George, the little boy, told his mother about that 4 girl
when he got back home,“She looks so helpless. I wish I could do something for
her.”
“Why not give her some 5 ?”said
his mother. George agreed.
The next morning, as Jennie 6 at
he window again, she saw George with a handful of beautiful flowers carefully
picking his way across the street. He stopped in front of her window, smiling
pleasantly, and said,“Can I come in?”Jennie told him 7 to
get into the house.
Opening the door to Jennie’s gentle“Come in”, George
said, “I’ve brought you some flowers.”
“Are they for me?”said Jennie 8 .“How
kind you are,”she continued, as George put the flowers on her lap.“I’ve 9 received
any flower since we moved to the town.”
“Did you live in the countryside?”asked George, 10 the
old, small and empty room.
“Yes,”said Jennie.
Jennie used to have a happy family and live in a
beautiful house in the countryside. However, she lost her right leg in an
accident. She 11 walk like other
people any longer. Later, her father died, and her mother was sick 12 so
many years that their money was all gone. They sold the house, and move here to
get work to do.
George told his parents 13 .
They decided to help her. More and more people in the 14 gave
Jennie friendly smiles when they passed by her house. She was greatly cheered
up.
A few months later, Jennie and her mother 15 a
flower shop. People could always see Jennie sitting in the shop, having a
lovely smile on her face.
