One Christmas Eve, my husband made his way home from work.
36 , he worked the entire day but let his stuff go
37 so that they could be with their families.
He drove down the street and made the
38 towards our home. On one side of the road, an old man stood, drenched to the bone (被雨淋得湿透了), with his hand
39 . The rain had been
40 heavily that day. My husband stopped, and asked him where he was
41 . He wanted to go about five miles past our home, but my husband still told him to
42 . My husband chatted with him, drove
43 our house and took him home for his Christmas Eve.
44 turned out that this poor man was what we now
45 as a “slow learner” and the only job he could get to
46 him and his elderly mother was at the bakery near where my husband worked. He worked from 5 a.m. until 1 o’clock in the
47 . Not only that, but that poor man had been standing there trying to get a ride on Christmas Eve for about 5 hours
48 my husband picked him up.
49 else would give him a ride because they didn’t want to get their seats
50 .
Over the years my husband
51 to give him a ride home whenever he saw him trying to get a ride. When he passed
52 , my husband went to his funeral.
53 my husband didn’t know his family, they knew of him. Even his twin sister who
54 in the state of Washington knew who my husband was and everyone thanked him for his 55 toward one who had so little.
An act of kindness can make another person’s day, or even their life.
