It was a small 35 and was crowded(拥挤); tickets were _36 sometimes weeks in advance(提前) for every service. One day, I found a number of children outside. They could not 37 in because a crowd of children had already been in the Sunday school rooms of the church, and little May White, who lived nearby, had brought her books 38 was standing by the gate, hesitating(犹豫不决) whether to go back home or wait and try to enter later. I 39 her up in my arms, lifted her to my 40 , and then she held back my head, I never forgot. Then I carried her out of the crowd(人群) in the hall, into the Sunday school room. The next morning we met, I said, “May White, we are going to have a 41 room soon,” and she said, “I hope you will. It is so crowded that I am afraid to go there alone.” “Well,” I replied, “When we get the money with which to build a school building, we are going to build one large 42 to hold all the little children in, and we are going to begin very soon to raise money for it.” Though this idea firstly_43_ to my mind, I wished to make conversation with the child. As time went by, it was a pity that May White became very sick, and they asked me to come in and see the child, which I 44 . But May White died. She had collected only 57 cents, which was left as her contribution(贡献) towards building _45_Sunday school room for the children. After the funeral(葬礼), her mother handed me a little bag with the money. I 46 it to the church and stated(宣布) that we had the first gift to the new Sunday school building- that May White, who had gone to shining world, had left this gift towards it. () 35.

Then he thought that they might perhaps be looking for their own ship on the sea, but that seemed impossible to him. How could they not know where their ship was?Then Mr. Brown suddenly _42_ that they were not looking at the sea at all. The telescope was pointing at the beach, and they were looking along it _43_ and carefully. Mr. Brown wondered _44_ they had lost someone or something.Suddenly the two men _45_ the telescope and rushed off quickly, so Mr. Brown stopped wondering and continued his walk.It was not until an hour later that he found out what the two men had been searching for with the telescope.

For several 36 all I could do was to stand there and look down at him. My first thought was that he must need 37 with his homework or he was trying to prepare me for some news.38 I asked, “What was that all about?”“Nothing,” he said. “My teacher said we should _39_ our parents that we love them and see what they said.
