25   he got in he told me that he was a   26   and went out to sea for weeks at a time. He took medicine for his nerves and  27   to get another prescription(处方) before he left on the boat. He said that he had prayed (祈祷) 28   would stop for him so he could be there before the   29   office closed. With some 30   driving we managed to make it there in about 10   31 . I then asked him how he   32   on getting back home and he said he could walk. “I’ll patiently 33   for you and bring you back,” I told him. He 34   me and said he should only be about 15 minutes.
Afterwards he got back in my   35  and tried his hardest to pay me back: offering me dinner, gas money, even offering to ship me 40 lbs of scallops (海扇贝)! I  36  refused, gave him a smile card and asked him to help someone else the next time he had a  37 . I drove him back to where I had picked him up and  38   one more “thank you” he was on his way.
