I never forget the single act of kindness that changed my life over 25 years ago. During a vacation trip, I needed to find my 41 to the Greyhound bus station, some 30 miles away. Being a 42 student, I had little money to get there.
I 43 to call various taxis and shuttle services but they were all to 44 or too far away to pick me up. Then, I got one person on the 45 who managed to make out that I needed a ride to the Greyhound station but only had limited financial 46 and he agreed to transport me! He came to pick me up about 45 minutes 47 . The driver was older and I remember 48 why the shuttle didn’t have a meter (计时器) but his ID was there and I could see this was his 49 . The driver was so kind. He knew I was 50 so he distracted me with stories and good 51 . He said I looked like his granddaughter.
At one point, I asked him why he 52 so little to the others. Then ,he patiently explained that he was 53 retired and hadn’t removed his number from the phone book but when I called, clearly upset, he felt 54 to help. This man drove an hour out of his way to help a person he didn’t know for a fee that only 55 his gas, if that! Because of his 56 , I knew things were going to be okay. This man’s kindness warms my heart every time I think of him. 57 , I didn’t get his name and his face has 58 gradually from my memory but he is on my mind often and I wish I could thank him 59 . “Thank you Mr. Angel Shuttle-Man! I hope your granddaughter knows what a(n) 60 grandfather she has!”
