One day a teacher asked her students to list the names of
44 students in the classroom on two sheets of paper, leaving a space between each name. Then she told them to think of the
45 thing they could say about each of their classmates and write it down.
It
46 the class some time to finish their assignment, and as the students left the room, each one
47 the papers. That Saturday, the teacher wrote down the
48 of each student on a separate sheet of paper and
49 what everyone else had said about that individual.
On Monday she gave each student his or her list. Before long, the whole class was
50 . “Really?” she heard whispered. “I never knew that I
51 anything to anyone!” and, “I didn’t know others liked me so much” were most of the comments. No one ever
52 those papers in class again. She never knew if they discussed them after class or with their parents, but it didn’t
53 . The exercise had completed its
54 . The students were
55 with themselves and one another.
That group of students moved on. Several years later, one of the students was
56 in Vietnam War and his teacher
57 the funeral of that special student. After the funeral, most of Mark’s former classmates left. Mark’s mother and father were there, obviously waiting to speak to his teacher.
“We want to
58 you something,” his father said, taking a
59 out of his pocket.
“They found this on Mark when he was killed. We thought you might
60 it.”
Opening the wallet, he
61 removed two worn pieces of notebook paper that had obviously been taped, folded, and refolded many times. The teacher knew without
62 that the papers were the ones on which she had listed all the good things each of Mark’s classmates had said about him.
“Thank you so much for doing that,” Mark’s mother said. “As you can see, Mark
63 it.”

, all she had was a flat tire, but for an old lady, that was bad enough. Bryan crawled under the car looking for a place to put the jack, skinning his knuckles a time or two. Soon he was able to change the tire. But he had to get dirty and his hands hurt.
When she flew into Athens on an unseasonably cold day in September, she quickly realized that she hadn’t brought enough warm clothes. Walking through the streets of the Greek capital, she happened to see a nice coat in a shop window and went in to ask about the price. The coat was too expensive, but as Christine was about to leave the shop, the woman asked her where she was from. When Christine answered Australia, the woman agreed to reduce the price because she knew a nice girl from Australia called Elena. Christine then noticed a photo of a young man standing next to a motorbike. Her eyes opened wide with astonishment. It was Nicos! Indeed the young man was Nicos, and the woman in the shop was Maria. She had come to Athens from Santorini to look after the shop for a friend.
