A Man Named Lawrence

This is an act of kindness that happened to me one Sunday morning.

It was at two o’clock in the morning. We just came out of a club and were trying to find our   36   back to our city. As we were trying to   37   the bus stop, a man came to us and said he would show us   38   it was. Although we were a little worried, we had no choice but follow him. He told us he was a homeless man and that his name was Lawrence.

When we passed some city workers   40  the streets, they sprayed (喷溅) the homeless man. Lawrence told us that they always sprayed the   41   if they were "in the way". I didn’t know why they would do that. They were human beings,   42  , not cattle or objects.

This man had just gotten   43  in the middle of a cold night, but  44  shouting at the workers, he asked them, "How would you   45  if your father or grandfather were treated like this?" He then told us, "It’s   46  use shouting at them, because they just get angry. You’re better off saying something from the   47  ."

It is   48  ! The world could be so different if only we put our anger  49  , lowered our voices and tried to speak from our hearts.

He took us safely to the stop and on the way talked about everything. We   50  him and told him that we   51  have never found the place on our own. He said, "I have a son of your age, and I hope that if he were   52  , someone would help him."

Not only did Lawrence clear out all the fear and distrust in our hearts, he helped us find our way, in more than one ways.   53  , this man taught us kindness. There was   54  we could really do to repay him. The only thing I hope to do is to   55  other people out.
