_15__him pick up the hat and __16_the money into a small plastic bag.Then he walked over to a cafe counter and __17_ the entire contents into a tin collecting for a bushfire appeal(募捐).

I was swinging on the front gate, trying to decide whether to walk down the street to play with Verna, my best friend, when I saw a tramp(流浪汉)come up the road.
“Hello, little girl,” he said, “Is your mama at home?”
I nodded and swung the gate__1_ to let him in the yard. His shaggy hair__2_ below a shapeless hat, and his worn-out__3__ had been rained on and __4__, something like a bonfire(篝火海贼王素描).
He walked to the door. When my mother __5__, he asked, “Lady, could you __6_a bite to eat?” “I think so. Plea sit on the step.”

I swung on the gate, watching him _10__down what mother gave him. Then he walked __11_ through the gate. “They said your mother would feed me.” He told me on the way out.
