I walked into the grocery store not particularly interested in buying something. The sorrow of   1  my husband of 37 years was still too painful. And this grocery store held so many sweet  2 . Bob often came with me and almost every time he'd  3  to go off and look for something special. I'd always see him walking down the walkway   4  the three yellow roses in his hands. Bob knew I loved yellow roses. With a heart   5  with pain, I came to the meat shelf, I searched for the  6  small steak and remembered how Bob had loved his steak.

Suddenly a woman came beside me. She was in a soft green dress. I   7  as she picked up a large pack of T-bones,   8  them in her basket, hesitated, and then put them back. She saw me watching her and she smiled. "My husband loves T-bones, but   9 , at these prices, I don't know."

"My husband passed away eight days ago," I told her. "Buy him the steaks. And value every   10  you have together."

She smiled and I saw the feeling in her   11  as she placed the package in her basket and   12  away. I turned and pushed my cart forward too. Several minutes later I saw first the green suit and then  13  the pretty lady coming to me. In her arms she carried something. On her face was the   14  smile I had ever seen.

As she came closer, I saw what she held and   15  welled down. "These are for you, " she said and placed three beautiful yellow roses in my arms. She placed a gentle kiss on my cheek, then smiled again. I wanted to tell her what the roses   16 , but still unable to speak. I watched as she walked away as tears clouded my   17 . I looked down at the beautiful roses and found it almost  18 . How did she know?

Suddenly the   19  seemed so clear. I wasn't alone. "Oh, Bob, you haven't   20  me, have you?" I whispered, with tears in my eyes. He was still with me, and she was his angel.

  That cold January night,I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco.There I was,walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theater.With opening night only a week away,I was still learning my lines.I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time.As I walked,I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco.City life had become too much for me.

  As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings,I felt very small and cold.I began running,both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers(抢劫犯).Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets.

  About a block from my apartment(公寓房间),I heard a sound behind me I turned quickly,half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun.The street was empty.All I saw was a shining streetlight.Still,the noise had made me nervous,so I started to run faster.Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been.It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk.

  Suddenly I wasn't cold or tired anymore.I ran out of the door and back to where I'd heard the noise.Although I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes,my wallet was nowhere to be found.

  Just as I was about to give up the search,I heard the garbage truck(垃圾车)pull up to the sidewalk next to me.When a voice called from the inside,“Alisa Camacho?”I thought I was dreaming.How could this man know my name?The door opened,and out jumped a small red-haired man withan amused look in his eyes.“Is this what you're looking for?”he asked,holding up a small square shape.

  It was nearly 3 A.M.by the time I got into bed.I wouldn't get much sleep that night,but I had gotten my wallet back.I also had gotten back some enjoyment of city life.I realized that the city couldn't be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other.

     That cold January night, I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco. There I was walking home 
at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theater. With opening night only a week away, I was 
still learning my lines. I was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at 
night at the same time. 
     As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco. City life had become 
too much for me. As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold. I began 
running, both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers. Very few people were still 
out except a few sad-looking homeless peopl e under blankets.
     About a block from my apartment, I heard a sound behind me. I turned quickly, half expecting to 
see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight. Still, the 
noise had made me nervous, so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and 
unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk.
     Suddenly I wasn't cold or tired any more. I ran out of the door and back to where I'd heard the 
noise. Although I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found.
     Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbage truck pull up to the sidewalk next to 
me. When a voice called from the inside , "Alisa Camacho?" I thought I was dreaming. How could this 
man know my name? The door opened, and out jumped a small red-haired man with an amused look 
in his eyes. "Is this what you're looking for?" he asked, holding up a small square shape.
     It was nearly 3 a.m. by the time I got into bed. I wouldn't get much sleep that night, but I had got my 
wallet back. I also had got back some enjoyment of city life. I realized that the city couldn't be a bad 
place as long as people were willing to help each other.
