I met this elderly lady in town， 41 I suppose may be someone's grandmother. The city has grown and everybody is so busy 42 (walk), and at times shoving(挤着) other people. I'm not sure what made look at her as she walked slowly by with her wooden walking stick. Maybe it's because I wondered if I would reach that age and what I would be doing then if I did.

43 (sudden), her stick dropped. I was not so sure if someone had pushed her or it just dropped accidentally. She tried reaching for it, but I noticed that bending was becoming a challenge to her. I moved towards her, although I thought that someone would have helped her by the time I 44 (reach) her. I was wrong. Nobody seemed 45 (notice) or cared much. I picked 46 her stick and positioned it in her hand. She gave me 47 wide, honest smile and thanked me. She raised her 48 (eye) and said something nice to me, still smiling.

I felt happy too, and will remember that it is 49 (meaning) to slow down and take notice of what is happening around 50 (we) and outside our own selves.
