I had been out shopping and really took too much time doing it. I
was tired and about to (61) home. That is when I saw her.
She was stopped in the left hand turn lane (车道), (62) to get onto the highway
but never (63) it. I slowed down, rolled open my window and asked. “Do you need
any (64) ?”
“Yes, I ran out of gas. I just moved here and I don’t even know (65)
a gas station is,” she replied.
She didn’t have a gas can, so I told her I’d run down the (66) to
see if I could get one from the local station. When I (67) with a full can of
gas, she couldn’t (68) me enough and told me she would pay for the an and gas.
(69), I refused.
As I was (70) the gas in, she said, “I thought no one would even
stop. I was afraid to leave the car and even more afraid to (71) help.”
“Well, I couldn’t pass by (72) offering help,” I said. “I’ve used up
gas myself a few times. You know I’m getting (73). Now I’m running out of gas
and time. It just seems to fly by.”
She then said (74) that I though was a gem (佳作): “My Dad said that old age is
(75) toilet paper. The closer you get to the end of the roll the (76) it spins.”
I laughed so hard that I (77) dropped the container. She tried to
start the car and it (78). The I told her to keep the (79) can in her trunk.
Seeing her grateful (80), I said friendly, “I’m glad to be of help.
Welcome to Pennsylvania.”
