clothes clean became a problem for them. Before long, a family friend decided 2 (join) the army and
his wife was going with him. John"s family told them that they could take care of their furniture while they
were away. To the 3 (family)surprise, the friend suggested they should use his Bendix washing machine.
"It would be better for it to 4 (use), rather than sitting 5 (quiet)," he said.
Young John helped with the washing, and he developed a deep love of the old, green Bendix. 6
(Late), the war ended and the family"s friend returned. When he came to take the machine away. John
became very sad. His mother saw this and said to 7 (he), "Son, you must remember that machine
didn"t belong to us in the 8 (one) place. It was a gift for us to be able to use it for such a long time. So,
instead of 9 (be) sad about the loss, let"s be grateful that we 10 (be ) able to use it at that time."
We have all experienced loss: loss of people and things. However, if we see the thing we 11 (lose) as
a gift that we were given for a time, maybe the sad 12 (memory) will change into 13 (thank ) ones.
