    A boy selling magazines walked up to a house that people seldom visited. The house was old and the owner 1 came out. When he did come out he wouldn't say 2 to anybody but simply looked at them. The boy and the other children were told to 3 the house by their parents.

    The boy knocked on the door and waited. 4 he was ready to walked away, the door slowly opened.

    "Uh, sir, I, uh, am selling these magazines and I was wondering 5 you'd like to buy one?"

    The old man just looked at the boy. The boy could see the inside of the house and 6 some dog figurines(小雕像). "Do you 7 dog figurines?" the boy asked.

    "Yes, I have many collections, they are my family here."

    The boy felt sorry for the man, as he seemed to be very 8. "I have a magazine about dogs here for collectors. It's perfect for you."

    But the old man said, "I need 9 of the magazines, now goodbye."

    The boy was sad. He went home and then had an idea. He had a little dog figurine! He walked back to the old man's house with the 10. He knocked on the door again and this time the old man came 11 to the door. "Boy, I told you no 12."

    "No, sir. But I wanted to bring you a gift." The boy handed him the figurine. "I have one at home and now this is 13 you."

    The old man was 14: No one had ever given him such a gift and shown him so much kindness. "Boy, you have a(n) 15 heart. Thank you!"

    From that day on the old man started coming out of the house and greeting people. He and the boy became friends. The boy even brought his dog to see the man weekly.
