A young lady was standing on the comer with a map in her hand. She looked puzzled. 1 I wondered why. Maybe it was because of the way she was dressed. She wore a dirty dress and looked pale.
As I crossed the street and came closer to her I asked if she wanted help. 2 As it turned out she was looking for the hospital. I felt wonderful just reaching out,and taking that extra moment to help.
Many times in these situations I end up walking a person to where he or she is going when giving directions would be too complicated. 3 Many years ago,we travelled in Japan and needed directions. A kind Japanese who saw our problem came to us and helped us out. This man just took my heavy bags and guided us to where we needed to be. We could not speak any Japanese while the man could not speak any English. 4
Sometimes when I do a special favor for a stranger,the person will say, “I hope I can do something for you one day to return the favor." 5 But I hope that when they come across a situation where someone needs their help,they will be willing to reach out as well.
A. Although we could not communicate through words,we communicated through the heart.
B. They already have done something for me by giving me the opportunity to help them.
C. I like helping people this way due to my own experience.
D. Several people passed by,looked at her but did not stop.
E. It is never too late to do others a favor.
F. These words made me feel quite warm.
