On Sunday I had my own Father's Day celebration. Suddenly I thought about my dad a lot. My dad is absolutely the 31 man in the world. He would never refuse to help anyone in trouble.
Every Thursday night, my dad would head for Shreveport, LA to a church there. I always drove the car for him. Although this happened many times, I recall one incident on one of those trips to Shreveport. That time on the way, my dad saw a hitchhiker(搭便车的人). He asked me to pull the car over and offer him a 32 . Dad asked him his name and address, told him ours, and talked to him about all sorts of things. At first the hitchhiker was hesitant, but he changed his 33 as he could tell we were really listening to him. I did know that it was quite cold outside and the hitchhiker was very happy to be able to get a lift in our warm car. We 34 another forty-five minutes and learned that the hitchhiker was facing many difficulties in life. Dad told him to keep his head up and said that 35 would become better for him soon. He reached into his pocket and 36 the hitchhiker a twenty-dollar bill, leaving only a ten-dollar bill for himself. The hitchhiker then became very 37 .
I was always told never to 38 a hitchhiker and yet my dad did it every time he saw one. Dad always gave them money even if he did not have very much of his own. From that I've learned that if you come from a place with 39 , you will show a lot of kindness to people who are suffering. Just one single kind act may 40 someone's life.
