   That cold January night, I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco, when I was walking home   1   in the morning after a tiring practice at the theater.   2   the performance night would be given in a week, I was busy learning my lines. Walking alone, I thought seriously about an idea to   3   the acting, especially to want to leave San Francisco. City life became so much for me.

Walking in the empty and   4   streets with dim road lights along tall buildings, I felt myself very   5   in such a modernized city and cold on such a winter night.

How could this man know   16  ? The door opened, and out jumped a small red – haired man with an aroused look in his eyes. “Is this   17   you’re looking for?” he asked, holding up a small   18  .

It was nearly 3 a.m. by the time I got into bed. I didn’t get much sleep that night, but I got back my lost wallet. I also got back happiness and enjoyment of   19  .  20  , San Francisco couldn’t be a bad place as long as we threw our feelings into it and loved it.
