On a snowy evening, a rich lady was standing by the road. She was
very worried. Her 41 had broken down. Just then a poor man
named Robert came. He was on his 42
back home from work as usual.
The lady wondered, “Is the man going to 43
me? He looks very cold
and hungry." But to her surprise, 44
stopped and said with a smile, “Can I help you, madam?"
After forty 45 , the car was at last fixed by Robert.
The lady wanted to pay him.
“No, that's 46
, madam." he said, “I was just helping someone in 47
. If you really want to pay me back, I hope 48
you see someone in need,
you should give him a hand."
A few minutes later, the
lady 49 a shabby (破旧的)house by the road. She remembered Robert's words, so she stopped.
The hostess(女主人) warmly asked her 50
. The lady could see that was a 51
family and
that they needed help. When the hostess was
making tea in the kitchen, the lady 52
on a table 500 dollars
and went away quietly.
Robert came home later than
before, thinking how 53 their life was. His wife was pregnant(怀孕) and the baby was to be born the
next month but there was not 54
money. His wife went up
to him, gave him a kiss and said softly, “Don't worry, dear! Everything's going
to be all 55 . A stranger
has helped us out."
Let's always be ready
to help others because helping others is helping ourselves.
