Passage 1 A Second Chance

Something in Stephen Pearman’s voice moved Robert Fredy one cold day two years ago. Pearman had come close to Fredy’s 1 at a crossroad in New York City, hoping to earn some money 2 washing his windshield(挡风玻璃). Fredy waved to indicate he wasn’t interested.

In the seconds before traffic 4 moving again, Fredy, then general manager of the Berkeley-Carteret Hotel in Asbury Park, New Jersey, handed Pearman a business card and told him to call 5 he was serious. “My friends told me he was just making a joke about me,” says Pearman, an out-of-work taxi and truck driver. “But I believe that he was a 6 businessman.”

Today, Pearman works full time setting up the hotel’s meeting rooms. In the past two years, he’s found an apartment, married and paid back Fredy’s money.

“ There’s no future in washing windshields,” says Pearman. “Mr Fredy gave me a second chance, and I 9 the best use of it.”

Ordinarily Fredy is very 10 with New York’s street people. “But Pearman seemed so honest and open, 11 for an opportunity rather than just money,” Fredy says. “ I don’t hand my business card to 12 anybody. But I’m glad I handed it to Pearman that day.
