I think we should try to find a happy memory, something to lift us up on those unpleasant days. I'm saying this because I think I just found mine!

I had some work in Glasgow then. I was on a really  36  schedule, which meant I would have no time for myself all day. I was having one of those days, the train was completely  37  and the conversation going on around me seemed to be particularly  38  . Besides, I had a bit of a headache.   _39   quickly across the station hall, I fished some  40  from my pocket. There was usually someone at the exit   41   The Big Issue ( a magazine that helps homeless folk earn a living).

_42  the crowd parted ways at the bottom of the hall, I saw someone selling the

Big Issue. She really looked like she'd been sleeping  43  . Her clothes were  44  and she obviously hadn't had a scrub up (擦洗) for quite a while.

As I  45   the exit, I saw that she was  46  from side to side. At first I thought maybe she was trying to keep  47  against the biting wind. But she wasn't, she was moving in time to a  48 . I couldn’t hear her, but I could see her lips moving.

When I got closer, I saw a white  49  hanging from her elbow and noticed that she had sunken eyes. She was  50 , dirty and living on tile streets. I came closer and through the  51  of the traffic I heard her  52  the immortal (不朽的)line, "... and I think to myself, what a wonderful world!"

I bought her last magazine for twice what I'd originally  53  . She thanked me, then she  54_     her belongings and went tapping off along the pavement – still singing!

So, I have my happy  55  for the day. And I think it will stay with me a long, long time.
