One summer evening as I was cooking dinner, there was a knock at the door. I 1 it and saw a truly bad-looking man. But his voice was 2 as he said, "Good evening. I come to see if you have a 3 for just one night. I came to the market this morning from the eastern shore, and there's no bus till next morning." He told me he had been searching for a long time but with no 4. I told him we would find him a bed, and asked him to rest on the porch. I went inside and prepared dinner. When we were ready, I asked him if he would like to 5 us. "No, thank you. I have plenty." After I had 6 the dinner, I went out to talk with him. It didn't take me a long time to see that this old man had a very large heart in that tiny body. He told me he fished for a living to 7 his daughter, her five children, and her husband, who was hopelessly disabled from an accident. At bedtime, we put a bed in the children's room for him.
On his next trip, as a gift, he brought a big fish and some other fresh seafood I had never seen. In the years he came to 8 overnight with us, and there was 9 a time he didn't bring us some fish or vegetables from his garden.
I know our family will always be thankful to have known him. From him we learn to accept the bad without 10 and the good with thanks.
