On the last day of our ___, I found myself ____ on a busy corner across the street from our hotel. Bicycles and motorbikes rushed in front of me. We had been advised to walk __  through the heavy traffic without looking right or left. Let them ____ us. But tonight I was by myself and felt ____ to face the stream of vehicles. ____ I hesitated on the sidewalk, I felt a hand on my elbow and looked down to see the smile of my small beggar friend looking up at me. She nodded her head toward the street, ____ that she would take me across. Together, we moved slowly into the chaos.

Then we moved on ____ the sidewalk, where she pulled my face down to hers, kissed me on both cheeks, and then walked away, still smiling and waving back to me. I had not given her a single coin. We had ____ something vastly more important—a warming of hearts in friendship.

Traveling in poorer nations, I have __    a variety of ways to deal with beggars. The most ___ response of tourists faced with those extremely poor people is to ____ them and focus their eyes elsewhere. I have seen people push away an outstretched hand in ____.
