One cold night, I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco．There I was walking home around one o’clock in the morning after a 1practice at the theatre. With the opening night only a week away, I was still learning my lines by heart. I was having 2handling my part-time job at the bank in the daytime and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about 3both acting and San Francisco. I had 4too much of city life.
As I walked down the 5streets under the tall buildings, I felt very small and cold, so I began 6both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers. Very few people were still out except a few homeless people under blankets.
About a block from my 7, I heard a sound behind me. I 8quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight. Still, the noise had made me 9，so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I 10what the noise had been. It had been my wallet 11to the sidewalk.
Suddenly I wasn’t cold or tired anymore. I ran out of the door and back to where I’d heard the noise. Although I searched the sidewalk 12for 15 minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found.
Just as I was about to quit the 13, I heard the garbage truck stop to the sidewalk next to me. When a voice came from the inside, “Alisa Camacho?” I thought I was dreaming. How could this man know my name? The door opened and out jumped a small blonde man with an 14look in his eyes. “Is this what you’re looking for?” He asked, holding up a wallet.
It was already 3 a.m. by the time I got into bed. I couldn’t get much sleep, but I had got my wallet back. I also had got back some 15of city life. I realized the city couldn’t be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other.
