Saul and Keon have never felt
bored with a day of work picking up trash in Miami Beach. They were especially 1 when
they were covering their route this week as a beautiful 2 awaited them. When their huge truck rolled down
the street into the North Bay Road community, they found most residents(居民)lining the street with signs and balloons, all to 3 say
"we love you".
Jennifer Elegant wanted to show
her family's appreciation 4 she
organized the socially-distancing surprise "thank you" 5 to honor the workers. Even the Miami Beach mayor(市长),Dan Gelber, showed up to 6 the
two heroes—because Saul Scruggs and Keon Richardson do so much more than 7 trash.
"They bring incredible energy to the 8 neighborhood,
Jennifer said. "In a word, they spread 9.
"
What is 10 about the two men is the positive energy that they
bring with them. They always have 11 on their
faces and never 12 a chance to say hello and 13 someone's day. They also go out of their way to
help others and 14 nothing
in return. One day, Saul spent 45 minutes helping a neighbor dig through her trash
to 15 her lost wedding ring. He also waited for over
an hour with another 16 who
was having heart problems and needed a(n) 17.
Jennifer has had "meaningful
discussions" with the amazing workers about their inspiring levels of happiness
and often shares their 18 with
her students. "Every day we are 19 by heroes who bring us inspiration but too often
we are unable to 20 these great people. I want Saul and Keon to know
that we are thankful. "
