When I first moved to Melbourne, my new city seemed so big and unfriendly. One day, I decided to go to Royal Melbourne Hospital for a medical exam because I was worried that maybe I had got a serious illness.

Not having a car, I had to get to the hospital by bus. However, I mistakenly got on a bus that was going in the opposite(相反的) direction. Realizing that, I got off the bus quickly. I stood on the street and didn’t know what to do. I looked into the eyes of a woman who was walking past me. Surprisingly, instead of moving on, she stopped to ask if I was OK. I started to explain my situation to her, and tears started running down my face. The woman pointed to a bus stop across the street and told me that a bus would be there soon and it would take me to the hospital. Then she left.

When I was waiting for the bus at the bus stop, a car stopped beside me. It was the woman. She came back and offered to drive me to the hospital.

Such unexpected kindness from a stranger was a lovely gift for me. As I got out of the car at the hospital and turned to thank her, she smiled, said some nice words and told me to think positively, for all things were possible.
