The world needs more people who are truly kind and caring. Yesterday it was about 11:00 p.m. _36_ my telephone rang. The number was that of a Best Western Hotel.  _37_ I don’t pay attention to this type of call. _38_, this time, for some reason, I went ahead and answered it.

The man on the _39_ end asked if I knew Samuel K., my 91-year-old grandfather. I didn’t _40_ why I was the one he had called. The caller went on to tell me that I was the only _41_ listed in my grandpa’s phone book.

The _42_, Mr. Mason, was the manager of the hotel at which my grandpa had shown up, wanting to rent a room. The _43_ was that my grandpa had no money with him. He was _44_. He had been going _45_ else but had taken the wrong bus and _46_ 100 miles from home. My grandpa just wanted me to tell Mr. Mason that he was a(n) _47_ guy and would pay the money once he got home.

The manager did all he could to help my grandpa, since he didn’t want to _48_ my grandpa, and wanted him to spend a _49_ night. Not only did he take the time to _50_ me, but he also charged just $39 to let my grandpa _51_ safely and comfortably overnight. The rooms in that _52_ normally go for about $140! And then the staff there all _53_ him until my uncle could drive the 100 miles to pick him up!

Thirteen-year-old Shanna Wilkinson saved the life of Holly, a sheepdog, who was very young. Holly was a tiny and very weak dog. According to the vet, there was little chance that Holly could survive. But with Shanna’s love and care, Holly grew into a strong, healthy adult dog with a special skill that would save Shanna’s life more than once.

At seventeen, Shanna got a kind of illness. She began having seizures(疾病发作) repeatedly, often as many as nine times a day. Because she couldn’t predict when the seizures would occur, every moment was dangerous for her. Every day she was in danger--- it was risky for her to simply cross the street, much less drive a car.

Just when it seemed as if Shanna would have to live indoors forever, her mother noticed something strange happened. Several times a day, the dog would begin whimpering(呜咽) and pulling Shanna’s leg. At first, no one was sure what was wrong with her. But they soon realized that Holly’s strange behavior always occurred before one of Shanna’s seizures began. Amazingly, Holly is able to predict exactly when the seizures will occur, even though Shanna herself never sees them coming.

Luckily, no matter how mysterious the dog’s talent is, Holly’s help has made life a billion times better for her owner.

“I feel comfortable and safe going out in public, and I can know when my seizures will come because of Holly, ” Shanna says. “Holly has really given me back my independence and I can live a normal life.”
