C A year ago, August, Dave Fuss lost his job driving a truck for a small pany in west Michigan. His wife, Gerrie, was still working in the local school cafeteria, but it was hard for Dave to find work, and the price of everything was rising. The Fusses were at risk of joining the millions of Americans who have lost their homes in recent years. Then Dave and Gerrie received a timely gift—$7,000, a legacy(遺產(chǎn) ) from their neighbors Ish and Arlene Hatch, who died in an accident. “It really made a difference when we were meeting difficulty .”says Dave. But the Fusses weren’t the only folks in Alto and the neighboring town of Lowell to receive unexpected legacy from the Hatches. Dozens of other families were touched by what the Hatches had done.

I lifted the lid and to my 51 saw nothing. I looked at David’s smiling face and back into the box and said, “The box is nice, David, but it’s 52 .” “Oh no, it isn’t,” said David, “It’s full of love. My mum told me before she died that love is something you can’t see or touch unless you know it’s there.” Tears filled my eyes 53 I looked at the proud dirty face that I had 54 paid attention to.
