The clock struck（敲）eight，but I was still on the bed．I could hear it was blowing strongly．“It must be windy outside，” I thought． I came to the small town a week ago． I sold some clothes to a ten and friends．So I tried to meet the manager and ask him to pay for them．I was out of luck（运气不好）．He went to London and I had to wait for him here．There was no theatre here but a cinema．The films were all too old．I preferred staying in the small hotel to sitting in the cold cinema． Half an hour later，I felt hungry．I had to get up．It was white everywhere and some children were skiing down the hill．On my way to the small restaurant，I saw a boy fall on to a rock （岩石）．I ran to him quickly and carried him to a hospital．Soon his parents came here．Now I knew the boy was just the manager's son．He thanked me very much and gave me the money after we had a dinner．

It was late on a snowing night. Doctor Van was driving fast to the hospital to do an operation (手术) on a badly hurt (受伤的) person. Minutes later he came to a red traffic light and had to stop to wait. A man suddenly opened the door of the car and got in.
“Drive on, ” shouted the man, “Just do what I’ve told you to. ” The man was strong and tall while Doctor Van was not.
“But I’m a doctor, ” Van tried to tell him what he was going to do. “I’m on my way to the hospital to save…” “Stop talking and drive faster, as fast as you can!” the man stopped Van and Van had to do so.
Only a few minutes had passed when the man made Van stop his car again and drove him off, and he himself drove away very quickly.
Van stood in the snow for a moment and then walked around to look for a taxi.
Another half an hour had passed when Van got out of the taxi and ran into the hospital. But it was too late and nothing could be done.
The man who had taken Van’s car was standing by the person all the time. He was so sad! Only then did Van know that the man was the father of that badly hurt person!
