  That cold January night, I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco.There I was, walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theater With opening night only a week away, I was still learning my lines.I Was having trouble dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time.As I walked, I thought seriously about giving up both acting and San Francisco, city life had become too much for me.

  As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold.I began running, both to keep warm and to keep away any possible robbers(抢劫犯).Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets, About a block from my apartment, l heard a sound behind me.I turned quickly, 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 nervous, so I started to run faster.Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been.It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk.

  Suddenly I wash'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 anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found.

  Just as I was about to give up the search-heard the garbage truck(垃圾车)pull up to the sidewalk next to me.When a voice called 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 red-haired man with an amused look in his eyes.“Is this what you're looking for?”he asked, holding up a small square shape.

  It was nearly 3 a.m. by the time I got into bed.I wouldn't get much sleep that night, but I had got my wallet back.I also had got back some enjoyment of city life.J realized that the city couldn't be a bad place as long as people were willing to help each other.
