After the quake hit northeast Japan on March 11, many
moving stories that I saw with my own eyes happened around me.
I had to walk home since all the 21 had
stopped after the earthquake. On my way home I 22 an old lady
at a bakery shop who was giving out free bread, which made my heart 23
. A man was holding a sign that said, “Please use our 24 .” He
was 25 his house for people to go to the restroom.
My friend wanted to 26 others. He
stood in the cold with a sign “If you’re okay with a motorcycle, I will 27
you to your house.” And then I saw him take one gentleman home, all
the way to a faraway place!
The next day I drove to 28 my car
with gas. There is a lack (缺乏) of 29 now
and many gasoline stations are either closed or have very 30 lines.
I got 31 , since I was behind 15 cars. Finally, when it was
my 32 , the man smiled and said, “ 33 this situation,
we are only giving $30 worth gas per person. Is that all right?” “ 34 .
I’m just glad that we are all able to 35 ,” I said. His smile gave
me so much comfort.
I saw a man at the evacuation (疏散) center 36 when people brought food
to him. It was the first time in three days that food was brought to their
center. However, after he wiped the tears, his next 37 surprised
me. “I am very 38 that we are provided with food. But people
in the city next to us haven’t 39 any food at all. Please go
to that center as well.” And when hearing that, I realized there is a bright
future on the other side of this 40 .
