题目内容：

There is a small shop about 200 meters from where I live that sells groceries, meat and other basic necessities. about 10 years ago, there was a beggar who would go into the shop every day and ask the owner for a 36. The owner, 37he would love to help, simply didn’t have any jobs available, so he kept 38the man’s request.

This situation continued 39for a few months, until the owner 40to give the homeless man a job which 41sweeping outside the shop. Every single day from 5 am, the homeless man was there doing the very 42he could for the 43, even though it did earn him some pennies. 44, the owner saw how good a job the man was doing and gave him a job working 45a cashier. He was watched closely to make sure that he didn’t 46any of the money received from the sales. He was still homeless, after all. The homeless man did a/an 47job as a cashier for over 2 years, and did such a good job that he was promoted to 48the finances for the whole shop.

To my 49, this was the arrangement up until 2 years ago, when the owner50. In his will, he only had one 51, to give the whole shop to the now stable, “homeless” man. Now, I could walk into that shop and see him working as hard as 52, with his own business that is still 53and active 10 years after getting his job as a sweeper.

From this story, we can probably get the inspiration: work hard and give everything your best effort, even if it isn’t your 54situation, it very well may turn out to 55some day in the future.
