I was   4  . I   5   bought my lunch at the cafeteria. It was too   6   for my family, and we always   7   our lunch and brought the bag back home to use again the next day. My sandwiches were either bologna or tuna fish.

You can understand my   8   when I had the opportunity to buy a   9   lunch. Kids always   10   about the cafeteria food but I was very envious (羡慕的) of them. It sure looked good to me. After lunch that day, Mrs. Amatuli took me   11   and said she wanted to explain   12   she had bought my sandwich. She said she was Catholic and that Catholics didn’t eat red meat on Fridays — they ate   13   on Fridays.

Oh, I couldn’t   14   to get home and tell my Mama that I wanted tuna fish every Friday. After my Mama understood why, she gladly   15   tuna fish for me on Fridays. From then on, every Friday I could   16   with the rest of the kids for a hot lunch. I didn’t   17   how many of the kids complained about cafeteria food — it tasted   18   to me!

I realize now that Mrs. Amatuli   19   have fixed herself a tuna sandwich on Friday. But she bought my sandwich   20   she saw a little girl who was thrilled over the simple act of having a hot lunch.
