I had my first chocolate bar at five years old. I’ll never forget the 1 , comforting taste. But the situations were 2 but sweet. It was World War II. I 3 with my family in the Lithuanian town of Taurage 4 the Russian army swept west Nazi Germany. Many people in our village 5 away in terror.

In the confusion, I stood with my 12-year-old sister, and my three-year-old brother, near the railway 6 , where a train for Germany waited. 7 families were allowed to board the train. Just before leaving, a woman traveling 8 approached us. “I’ll take care of him,” she told my sister, and 9 me onto the train as it left the station. The whole trip I 10 my mother.

We arrived in Hamburg. Now that the woman had 11 Taurage she had no more use for me. I lived on the 12 like thousands of other children in that war-torn city. I survived 13 stealing food. Then the American army arrived.

One afternoon as I hid 14 in a mess tent in search of food, a huge hand lifted me up by the collar—an American soldier. I was 15 and I could see it upset him. “It’s okay, kid,” he said. He reached into his jacket and handed me a chocolate bar. I 16 it and took a small bite. I thought I’d gone to heaven.

The soldier took me and some other 17 children to an orphanage(孤兒院) run by Red Cross. Four years later I was transferred to an orphanage in America. 18 a family who lived in Pennsylvania adopted me. Later I joined the Army, then attended college after the army and 19 a master’s degree in clinical（臨床的） social work.

I never did learn the soldier God sent to save my life, but I remember his 20 forever.
