One day, my wife and I left the village where we lived to visit the other side of the island. There we 1 to see a French lady who was walking with a cane(手杖). Clearly, it was not 2 for her to climb up the 300 steps leading up to an old building. Noticing she had a French accent(口音)I 3 speaking French with her. She 4 that, saying her English wasn’t very good. We had a 5 . She said the next day she would visit the 6 we were in at that moment. I was already looking forward to our 7 again there, because I enjoyed 8 my French.
But the next day I did not see her. I 9 she had said that she would leave the island the day after. I must have 10 her. Yet, three days later I suddenly met her again at the beach. She told me she was taking the ferry boat that night at 2 a. m. and was now 11 a place to stay close to the port(港口), 12 she had difficulty taking her suitcase to the port herself. The hotel she mentioned was rather 13 and I suggested another hotel which would cost her less, and was a short 14 for her to reach the port. 15 , her hotel could not help carry her suitcase anywhere. So I 16 to carry the suitcase to the 17 for her.
I did as I had promised, and the lady was 18 and kept thanking me. I did it 19 , for my parents brought me up to give others 
a helping hand.
Watching the 20 on the lady’s face, I wish I got the chance to do it more often.
