Jim, a successful businessman, told the experience of his childhood.
When he was 12, his parents died. He was alone and didn't get on well with others. People always 1 him. No one showed kindness to him.
His only friend was a 2 named Tiger. He gave it enough to eat and drink, but sometimes he was not polite to it. He didn't know that a(n) 3 word sometimes could cut one's heart like a knife.
One day when he walked down the street, a young lady was walking 4 him. Suddenly one of her 5 dropped from her arms. As she stopped to pick it up, she dropped other bags. He came up to help her. “Thank you, dear! You are a nice little boy！” she said kindly, smiling.
A special feeling came to 6 . These were the first kind words he had ever heard. He watched her 7 she went far away, and then he whistled(吹口哨) to his dog and went directly to the 8 nearby.
“Thank you, dear! You are a nice little boy！” he repeated 9 words. Then in a low voice he said to his dog, “You are a 10 little dog！” Tiger raised its ears as if it understood.
“Hmm! Even a dog likes it！” he said, “Well, Tiger, I won't say unkind words to you anymore.” Tiger waved its tail 11 ．
The boy thought and thought. Finally he looked at 12 in the river. He saw nothing but a dirty boy. He washed his face carefully. Again he looked. He saw a 13 nice boy. He was amazed. 14 ， he had a new life.
After telling this, the businessman stopped for a while, and then he said, “Ladies and gentlemen, this is the very place where that kind woman planted the 15 seed(種子) of kindness in me. All of us should learn about kindness. What a great power it has！”
