Last January I was given a chance to work in another country. At first, I lived a
36 life, but soon I met a group of new friends and they were really nice.
Then something
37 happened. One of our friends suffered from kidney stones (肾结石), which had to be
38 surgically as soon as possible. But it was not as
39 as that! Our friend could not
40 the operation, which put him into dee
p 41 . I didn’t know how to help him because I didn’t have any money either.
42 , I never lost hope. Instead I tried to think of other
43 and told him not to worry because everything would be all right.
Before I left the hospital, I talked to the surgeon and asked him to do the surgery, saying I would pay the expenses the next day
44 I had that kind of money. Well, I must have been
45 because the surgeon agreed to do it! But how was I going to get that much money?
All I knew was that I needed to help my friend! Although it could be
46 to deal with this kind of situation, I decided to make some efforts. I tried to borrow money but failed. I tried
47 my things but no one wanted them. Then I had the idea of talking to my
48 . I asked him if I could have my next two months’ salary in advance—without even thinking on how I would
49 for two months with no money. He was surprised and asked me the reason. I told him that I had a friend who was really in need.
50 I convinced him too and then he gave my two months’ salary without any
51 !
Upon getting the money, I ran to the hospital and paid all the bills. My friend didn’t know how to thank me. I just said, “Come on! Give me a
52 !”
Friendship may not only be found at the happy moment but sometimes you can find it on the
53 time in your life! I’ve done a good thing by being a (an)
54 friend and I think it is well worth the
55 .
