Each day I took the same route to work and passed by a security guard (保安）.
1 greeted everyone walking by and made small talk with many of the passers-by and wishing them well. His simple “hello” made people feel
2 . His cheerful smile became a part of my day. When he was absent, many people noticed it, and I felt a little bit empty.

3 in my own world. On Monday the security guard asked me:“How was your weekend?” I told him about my visit to California, to see my mother, who had colon cancer. I
4 how I visited her each month. “The time with my mother is so precious(珍贵的),
5 I know that each time may be the last.”
He listened like a close friend I’d known for years. He felt my
6 and my love. He shared how he had lost his father to cancer two years before. He said, “I understand what you are going through. My father passed away while I was serving in Germany. Because of some reasons I was unable to fly back in time. I was unable to say goodbye to him. I wish I could have been with him, given him a hug, and told him I loved him. You are really lucky to have the gift of

As I walked away, I realized I did not even know his name. The following day, on my way to work, I said: “After we spent all that time
8 yesterday, I still don’t know your name.” He answered, “Gary.” I responded back, “I’m Deborah.”
After that, we talked and shared stories about our weekends, dreams and families.
Later, Gary got
9 a new job and moved away. It’s been several years since I last spoke to him, yet the memory feels like yesterday. Gary reached out to me,
10 me and made my morning the best part of the day. I experienced the beauty of friendship and love.
In the business of life, we often forget to wish a stranger hello although how easy it is, and how great and lasting a
11 it can make. When you say hello to a stranger you become like a pebble(鹅卵石) thrown into a pond. With each ripple (波纹）you create, you spread love that continues to
12 . Make a point of saying hello to a stranger today. You will give the gift that keeps on giving.
