More good things e from small things
About a year ago, a couple with three children moved into the apartment next door to me.
I never heard any 36 from the children, but the parents were always shouting at the kids.
We 37 often in the hallways when we were ing or going. I 38 spoke, but the only 39 I ever got was a hello from the four – year – old girl.
I usually go out for breakfast and one day when I 40 they were just ing from their apartment and the little girl was holding the door 41 for the others. I 42 in the car doing unnecessary things because I didn’t like to be snubbed(冷落). The parents were 43 her to hurry and get in the car, I looked up and saw the little girl was 44 holding the door open, 45 for me.
I hurried as much as I could and 46 her. She was smiling from ear to ear. That afternoon I saw a white toy bear, I 47 the little girl and said to myself, “I 48 she would like that” so I bought it. I wrote a note 49 how much her act of kindness had touched a soft spot in an old man’s 50 .
The next day there was a 51 on the door and 52 was the little girl and her father. She was so proud of her bear and thanked me. Then I 53 her mother and the other children were there in the hall too. The mother and father both thanked me.

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 was31 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 .
