    The old man answered, “I’m   38  . I haven’t had any food for two days.”

    At the thought of his parents’ words, Bill said to the old man, “Let’s go to the  39  .”

After the waiter   41  the plate and the cup, the old man said, “Sorry for giving you too much  42  . I’m fine now. I’ll   43  forget your kindness! You are a very good young man”
