Dave King is in his second winter of snowplowing (铲雪) people’s driveways for free.
April Frazier is one person who has benefited from King’s kindness. She is a single mother. After one storm last year, she was busy looking after her kids and just knew she was not going to be able to get out there and ____1____ the snow.
Frazier saw a post online in which King invited people to contact him if they needed help with that day’s storm. She ____2____ to him and offered to pay him, but he refused.
Frazier was grateful - and has been ____3____ to see, with every storm since, King has reported to her house and plowed her driveway, never ____4____ a penny (一分钱). Now he also plows her parents’ driveway for free. And one time, he ____5____ plowed her parents’ neighbors’ driveways without anyone asking him. “He is loyal and ____6____,” said Frazier.
King got the idea when he overheard a neighbor complaining she was having difficulty with the snow in her driveway. It occurred to King that he could plow the driveways of people in need for free.
King went online and invited anyone who needed their driveways plowed to get in touch with him. People were ____7____ at first, as though he had some kind of dishonest plan going. But they were quick to find out he was ____8____ and started taking him up on his offer.
King hopes to ____9____ this kindness and generosity and set up a whole network of volunteers to help people in need.
“King is making a positive difference in the community,” Frazier said. “He is an unsung hero for this town. He inspires hope in ____10____.”
