Last week after a long day of traveling, I found myself delayed at a bus station. The bus was running two hours late! I was a little 41 and had to wait there reading a book. Just then a woman 42 and asked me if I had any spare change to help her 43 a bus ticket.
"Oh, sure," I said.
With the words, I reached into my bag for some 44 .As I handed her five dollars, I 45 her stomach rumble (发出辘辘声) and I knew she was very 46 . I then reached back into my 47 and brought out a Danish pastry (酥皮糕点) I had bought earlier and 48 it to her with a smile.
She took the pastry and gave me a bus ticket to Milwaukee to show her 49 . I don't live in Milwaukee and the ticket will probably 50 be used, but I took it. A look of 51 spread over her face. Then she went to get her 52 and I went back to my 53 .
She came back a few 54 later, apologized, and told me there were five dollars 55 . I gave her the money and slipped(悄悄地塞) a twenty 56 . She thanked me and went back to the counter. 57 I went back to my book.
Five minutes later she came back again and 58 to return my twenty. 59 I said it was for her so she could get something else to eat and that I wasn't taking it back, she 60 crying and hugged me.
From then on, I always help others in trouble, because I believe I am really making a difference to them!
