It was a very cold evening, an old man was waiting for a ride across the river. He saw several horsemen pass by but he didn’t ask for any help. The wait seemed __1__(end)．Then came another rider，the old man __2__(catch) his eye and said, “Sir, would you mind doing me a favor？”

Stopping his horse，he replied, “Of course.” Almost __3__(freeze), the old man could not get __4__ the ground. The horseman helped him onto his horse. He took the old man not just across the river，__5__ to his home.

“Sir, you didn’t even ask the other riders for help, why? What __6__ I had said ‘no’ and left you there？” the horseman asked.

The old man looked at him straight in the eyes and said, “I looked into their eyes, I found they didn’t care，__7__ told me it would be useless, but when I looked into __8__， I saw kindness.”

These words touched the rider deeply. “Thank you for __9__ you’ve said, I hope I will never be too busy to help others.” with that, Thomas Jefferson, the __10__(three) president of the US, turned his horse around and went away.
