Question

Yesterday I was fortunate enough to find one more person in our world who is kind and caring．It was about 11：00 p．m．  1   my telephone rang．The caller ID showed the number of a Best Western Hotel． 2  , I would ignore this type of call．For some reason,   3  , I went ahead and answered．

       The man on the other end asked if I knew Samual K．I   4  , as he is my 91 – year – old grandfather．Still not   5   why I was the one that had been called, the caller went on to tell me that I was the only   6   listed in the phone book．He said his name was Mason and that he was the   7  at the Best Western Hotel．The   8   was that grandpa had no money with him, and that he couldn’t   9   any phone numbers, so Mason called all over the state trying to get help．

       Grandpa told me that he just wanted me to tell Mason that he is a（n）   10  guy and would pay the money once he got home．But the man in charge there was  11   because my grandfather seemed to be  12  ．He had been going somewhere else when he got on the wrong bus and   13   100 miles from home．

       Not wanting to turn him away and not wanting the police to   14   him to the police station, Mason,   15   any normal duty, not only took the time to   16   me, but also charged just $ 39 so that grandpa could   17   safely and comfortably overnight．（The rooms normally rent for about $ 140!） Besides, he had the staff of that hotel all   18   him until my uncle was able to drive the 100 miles to pick him up!

       So, it’s just one more piece of   19   that proves that there are still good people out there; wherever you go, there is always one who   20  ．
