of the village improved: soon carrots, beef and cream had

their way into the great kettle.

Last Sunday, I walked into the house in the afternoon to find my brother scurrying(急赶) around in a hurry. As
__13__
as I had taken my coat off, he placed a bunch of papers in my hands and asked if I could start folding them up as quickly as possible, so they could

an envelope. He said it needed to get done quickly before it turned dark.
I
__15__
it was probably something for his business and just got right to it, though I was a little

that something could be so urgent on a Sunday. It wasn’t until I was halfway through that I actually

what I was folding. I found that it was a lovely letter to all the residents of my street and the nearby streets in my neighborhood. My brother was asking

information and said that anyone that needed help should get in touch with him and he would figure something out.

for some of them, particularly because we live on a hill.

his carer assistant couldn’t make it. Everyone was really touched by his

and wrote wonderful emails. One of our neighbors wrote an email to him saying that although she wasn’t able to help, she was “very proud of having such a neighbor who puts other people’s interests first.”

__26__
to make a living on the sea. He worked hard and would stay out until he caught enough to
__27__
his family.”
Frank’s voice dropped a bit. “

the weather was bad, he would drive me to school. He would park his car just in front. Then he would lean over and give me a big kiss on the cheek and

look on his face.
I said, ‘Dad, I’m too old for a good-bye kiss.’My Dad looked at me for long, and his eyes started to tear up. I had never seen him
__34__ . He turned and looked out. ‘You’re right,’ he said. ‘You’re a big boy…a man. I won’t kiss you any more.’”
For the moment, Frank got a funny look on his face. “Soon after that, my Dad went to sea and
__35__
came back.”
I looked at Frank and saw that tears were running down his cheeks. Frank spoke again. “Guys, I would give
