My girls shouted “McDonalds, McDonalds” as we__3__ along a busy Houston road. Suddenly I__4__ that almost every crossing I passed through was__5__ by a panhandler（乞丐）. And then it hit me! All these panhandlers must be hungry, too. Perfect! After we ate, I ordered a(an)__6__ fifteen lunches and we set out to deliver them.
