I sat, in uniform, in a window seat,4 eye contact with my fellow passengers. No one was sitting next to me, which added to my 5.A little girl suddenly appeared in the passage. She 6 and,without saying a word,7 handed me a magazine. I accepted her 8,her quiet “welcome home.” All I could say was, “Thank you.” Her small gesture of 9 was the first I had experienced in a long time.
I always believe in the connection between 10 when they reach out to one another.
That girl 11 has no memory of what happened years ago. She might have been told to do that by her mother. It doesn’t matter 12 she gave me the magazine. The 13 thing is that she did.
Since then, I have followed her example and tried in different ways for different people, to 14 for them. Like me on that plane ride long ago, they will 15 know why a stranger gave a hand. But I absolutely know that my 16 since then are all because of that little girl. Her kindness of offering a magazine to a 17,scared and lonely soldier has been 18 throughout my life. I have to believe that my small 19 have the same effect on others. And to that little girl, now a 20,I would like to say again: thank you.
