Yesterday I was fortunate enough to find one more person in our world who is kind and caring. It was about 11:00 p.m. 21 my telephone rang. The caller ID showed the number of a Best Western Hotel. 22 , I would ignore this type of call. For some reason, 23 , I went ahead and answered.
The man on the other end asked if I knew Samual K. I 24 , as he is my 91 – year – old grandfather. Still not 25 why I was the one that had been called, the caller went on to tell me that I was the only 26 listed in the phone book. He said his name was Mason and that he was the 27 at the Best Western Hotel. The 28 was that grandpa had no money with him, and that he couldn’t 29 any phone numbers, so Mason called all over the state trying to get help.
Grandpa told me that he just wanted me to tell Mason that he is a (n) 30 guy and would pay the money once he got home. But the man in charge there was 31 because my grandfather seemed to be 32 . He had been going somewhere else when he got on the wrong bus and 33 100 miles from home.
Not wanting to turn him away and not wanting the police to 34 him to the police station, Mason, 35 any normal duty, not only took the time to 36 me, but also charged just $ 39 so that grandpa could 37 safely and comfortably overnight. (The rooms normally rent for about $ 140!) Besides, he had the staff of that hotel all 38 him until my uncle was able to drive the 100 miles to pick him up!
So, it’s just one more piece of 39 that proves that there are still good people out there; wherever you go, there is always one who 40 .

Several weeks ago, my friend advised us to sell some of our things which we will not use any more. I thought it was a good chance to 46 my 7-year-old son’s room and 47 some toys that were no longer suitable for him to play with. We 48 that all the money we got from selling the toys would be his money.
The night before the 49 , we loaded up the truck with toys and a little bike that was too 50 for him. In the yard he 51 the bike for the last time and then happily put it onto the truck. This little bike had at least two previous owners as far as we 52 . It wasn’t in the best 53 and was certainly not new, but the tires were 54 good.
We put a price of $10 on it, but it didn’t sell. So, after the sale was 55 , my friend put it on the sidewalk with a sign that 56 “FREE BIKE”. Within five minutes her doorbell rang. A little boy was 57 there. In poor English he asked whether the bike was 58 free. She said yes and that he could have it for 59 . He smiled, got on the bike and rode away.
Later that evening when I told my son how much money he had made at the sale, he was very 60 , shouting happily. He asked about a few of his things, wondering 61 they had been sold. When he asked about the bike, I told him about the little boy and that made him 62 . He was much happier than when I told him how much he had 63 . He was so happy to 64 that someone else would make good 65 of that little bike!

When I was growing up, I always gave my mom an apron (围裙)on her birthday.I wanted my own mom — 21 that apron I'd just given her, of course —to 22 me at the end of each afternoon bearing a plate of home-baked 23 as she waited breathlessly to hear about my 24 day at school.
Mom loved her family without question, but as an elementary-school teacher she had her own exciting days to 25 .She had hardly any extra time and 26 , and home-baked treats were rare in our house except 27 very special occasions.Since Mom didn't make cookies very often, the 28 of her baking were not always the same.Sometimes the cookies were browned a little more than planned or 29 together and other times the cookies weren't smooth. 30 , none of that bothered anyone in the family.All we 31 was swallowing whatever we were having for dinner that night so we could get to the cookies 32 us on the kitchen counter.
Now that I'm a mom myself, I can 33 all too well why my mother didn't always have the time to wear the apron.As was true with my mother, the list of things I need to do is often 34 than the day itself.But I also understand the desire to 35 the same yellow mixing bowl my mother used and make something special for my family every so often.Whatever I bake is met with approval, appreciation and good 36 by my husband and children.At some level, I believe they're 37 that I was thinking about them as I 38 the brown sugar into the butter or frosted the cake with their favorite kind of icing.They always know I love them.I39 they know it a little better when I'm in a baking mood.
I'm sure my mother felt 40 the same way whenever she made cookies for us.Those cookies will always, in my mind, be the best treat.
