3．We all know what it's like to get that phone call in the middle of the night．That night‘s call was no different．
"Hello"My heart beat hard．
"Mama"The voice answered．My thoughts immediately went to my daughter．
"Mama，I've been drinking．I nearly ran off the road a few miles back．All I could think of was if it would hurt you if a policeman came to your door and said I'd been killed．I want to come home．I know running away was wrong．I know you've been worried．I should have called you days ago but I was afraid．"
My senses were clear now，"I think…"
"No!Please let me finish!"She pleaded in desperation．Before I could go on，she continued．"Are you still there？Please don't hang up on me!I need you．"
"I'm here，I wouldn't hang up，"I said．
"I know I should have told you．But，when we talk，you just keep telling me what I should do．You don't listen to me．You never let me tell you how I feel．Because you're my mother you think you have all the answers．But sometimes I don't need answers．I just want someone to listen．"
"I'm listening，"I whispered．
"I called a taxi．I'm coming home，Mama．"There was a click，and the phone went silent．
Tears forming in my eyes，I walked into my 16-year-old daughter's room．I wiped the tears．
"We have to learn to listen，"I said to my husband．
He studied me for a second，and then asked，"Do you think she'll ever know she dialed the wrong number"
I looked at our sleeping daughter，and then back at him．"Maybe it wasn't such a wrong number．"

20．It was a bright Saturday morning．I stopped at a café to enjoy a cup of coffee and read the morning newspaper．Suddenly，I felt a hand on the back of my jacket and heard someone say，"Hey Steve!How are you doing？"
Looking back，I saw a man．He looked familiar，but I couldn't remember where we had met．
The young man also held a cup of coffee，so I asked him to join me．Very soon，his story began to thaw out my memory．
Five years earlier，Johnson was traveling home late on a February night．A heavy snow had arrived that afternoon，and by midnight，the snowdrifts（雪堆）were getting deep．His car was stuck in a snowdrift just down the road from my house．
He walked to my house for help．I helped him pull his car out of the snowdrift and up to the street where the snow had been cleaned away．
This was a normal happening here during the winter．I couldn't count the times someone has helped me to pull my car from a snowdrift．However，it was an unforgettable experience for him．He was only eighteen at that time，and he said he was very afraid．No one wants to be stuck in a snowdrift at night．
