This story happened last February at my office. One day at noon, during lunch, one of my Italian co-workers expressed her wish to read The Little Prince, classical French story in French, (practise) and improve her French.
she said kept ringing in my head the whole afternoon, and finally I decided to do something. In the evening, straight after work, I went to look the book in a bookstore, imagining her (react) when she was to discover it on her desk. So the next morning, I (wake) up more joyful than ever before, motivated to arrive (early) at the office than usual, so that nobody could see me leaving the gift.
This small gesture was (real) rewarding to me. Not only the simple fact of giving the gift without (expect) anything in return, but also the fact of putting myself in her place when she was to discover the gift (lay) on her desk, and finally the influence that it could produce on her surroundings all day long, inspired a chain of sets or kindness.
