Backpacking through Africa, I always carried some food with me 21 I couldn’t find something to eat．
I was 22 through a local market one day when I 23 upon a jar of 24 jam．I could find tins of apple and strawberry in every corner store but this was the first time I had seen peach．I took it．
For the next few weeks, when I was feeling the need for a little 25 , I would carefully 26 the lid and spoon a bit on to a biscuit．Mum, delicious．I didn’t 27 it with anybody．It sat safely in my 28 , taken out on only special 29 ．
One cold and cloudy afternoon, while I was waiting for a local bus, it started to rain．Everybody scattered for 30 and so did I．But I was already wet through so I quickly searched through my pack for some 31 clothes．
In my hurry to 32 further discomfort, I forgot that the jar of jam was 33 in my clothing．One forceful yank（猛拉）and my 34 jar of jam crashed to the concrete ground, smashing into pieces．
I was so sad that I almost cried．And then, in the corner of my eye, I noticed an old woman in rags 35 ．Without hesitating, she bent down and picked up the half of the jar that still looked 36 ．
Still 37 , she stuck two fingers into the jar, scooped out the 38 jam and placed it into her toothless mouth．Carefully, like fish bones, she 39 the pieces of glass．She studied the broken container 40 she was certain that there was nothing left．Then she left．
My bus arrived shortly after and, as we drove off, I wondered if the jam would taste the same to me．
