36 a pair of newly bought white leather shoes, which were rather expensive. Then 37 came to me.
He was in an unfit shirt,
38 pale and weak. He looked about eleven or twelve. No sooner
39 begun to speak than he opened the box in his hand and took out the tools of shoe-polishing. He bent down,
40 my leather shoes, and began to shine them.
He was concentrating on his job when heavy rain began to pour
41 . People rushed into the cafe for protection from the
42 . More and more people crowded in and gradually

Hours passed, and
44 turned dark. I had no shoes on my feet and wondered

47 in the night.When it was near midnight the rain

49 Closed. I had to move to the door, I was surprised to see the boy sleeping on the floor with his head leaning
50 a box. He held a package made of his shirt tightly in his arms.I

I paid him and wrapped around him his unfit shirt, which

After saying goodbye to the boy, I was
55 home, with the image of the boy staying in my mind.
