The afternoon on December 25 in the waiting room , I was the nurse on duty . When I felt sad about having to_36_on Christmas Day , a woman and four small children showed up at my desk .
“ Are you all sick ?” I asked. “ Yes,” the woman said _37_and lowered her head. But when it came to telling me about their_38_ ,things got a little surprising. They all seemed to be well and there was nothing _39_ with their body.
Why did they tell a _40_that they were all sick? I did not say anything but _41_ that it might be a little time before a doctor could _42_ them . The mother said,“Take your time.We can _43_ here. It’s so warm.” When she finished the register chart , I noticed she didn’t write down their address----were they _44_ ?
I looked at the _45_ around the Christmas tree. The children were excited and _46_ to be healthy. The littlest one was pointing at the Christmas tree and say something to the mother. Then I was sure that they came here not because of _47_ but only for warmth.
I went back to the nurses’ station and _48_ the homeless family. The nurses, _49_ about working on Christmas Day like me, turned to feel sorry for the family and decided to _50_.
We bought delicious food in the hospital restaurant and _51_ a big dinner for our guests. We needed _52_. So we put apples in a basket and collected candies and clothes. Just as we were seriously prepared to meet the physical needs of the _53_, our team worked to meet the needs of a family who just wanted to be _54_ on Christmas Day.
Later, as the family was to _55 _ , the youngest child ran to me and said,“Thank you very much. Good bye.’
