One afternoon last summer I was driving along on my way home when I noticed a woman at the roadside near the edge of town.She was_41_a wheeled suitcase and was having a rough way to go since there was no sidewalk,only grass.
I pulled over to a nearby parking lot to_42_her.I suspected that she was_43_the homeless shelter across the street._44_it became apparent that she was on her way somewhere,I continued to observe.She appeared to be in her fifties and was dressed very_45_,a skirt nearly to her ankles,a blouse,and a lace shawl around her shoulders.In truth,I was not only_46_her situation but whether or not she had the _47_to harm me if I intervened(干涉).
After a couple of minutes I turned around,pulled the car up next to her and offered her a_48_.She accepted.Her story was_49_,but she did share that she had been travelling for a while and that_50_had helped her along the way.Her_51_was a city about three hours drive from where we were and it didn't sound as though she had a place to go there.I offered to take her to the half way point and she accepted.
Along the way,we stopped for food and drink for her which she_52_on paying for with her own money.When we well reached me town I had agreed to take her to,she asked if we could stop at a grocery store.
I was_53_that by this time she had developed enough_54_in me to leave her suitcase in the car while she shopped.While she was inside I located a Holiday Inn nearby and_55_ahead to see if mere were_56_;I explained my rather unusual situation to the person on the other_57_of the phone.
Upon her_58_from the grocery store,I shared what I had done and she_59_my offer of a room for the night.We drove to the_60_and the kind young woman there provided what discounts she could as well as a room with a refrigerator.She stated that she was touched that "people don't do this kind of thing."
