around, __10__ and said,"What did you say?Did you call me sir?" I told him I __11__,an d his eyes__12__a little bit and he said,"No one has__13__ called me sir." So he__14__.
It struck me.
I explained I had been raised that __15__ color and social status,everyone deserved respect.It __16__me to think that just because he was homeless,no one __17__ him the honor. It broke my heart,and I __18_I just didn"t understand __19__ no one ever called him sir?I had never thought that anyone was below me
because I wasn"t raised that way.Every__20__ person deserves to be treated with dignity.Years later,I
