It was one of those cold winter nights in the Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco . I was driving an
eyesore（丑陋的东西）that could only be
36 as a “ car ” by someone who was either a shameless liar or a good friend .
It was
37 to drive the car because you had to keep your fingers and toes crossed to keep the engine running . I tried to imagine I was driving a huge clumsy
38 ; that way I didn’t
39 the slow speed .
That night I must have uncrossed my fingers to scratch something . The car
40 in the middle of a four-lane stretch of Oak Street . I 41 for a place to
turn off（拐弯）, but the street was lined with parked cars .
There I sat , in
42 traffic , as tons of vehicles screamed by . In my
rearview mirror（后视镜）I saw a car
43 behind me . I knew what was coming . Soon the horn would start and someone would be
44 at me . But I was
45 .
A stranger got out of the car and came to my
46 . He asked , “ Do you want a
47 ?”
I was surprised but
48 . And then he
49 to his car and two teens piled out to help push my car . When I was
50 delivered to a side street , they got back into their car and rejoined the sea of
51 . I didn’t get to
52 them .
Over the years I’ve realized something about the 53 who stopped to help . I’ve noticed that every time I’m in 54 , he appears . The one true thing in this world is an unasked 55 provided by a stranger .
