It was a cold winter's night when I stopped for gas on my way homefrom work. I was tired and had a slight(轻微的)1.
I worked in a busy doctor's office. This was one of those days whenthe office was often2peoplewho had a cold, which made me3busierthan before. It seemed I was going to be late4home and my husband would be ready topronounce me late once again. Maybe5I hurried,I could still make it home.
I was heading inside to pay for my gas when I noticed an old coupleat the counter. I heard them asking the6to the local hospital. It was exactly thesame hospital that I had just left a few7ago. The young man at the counter wastrying to be8inexplaining how to get there, but the fact was that it was a whole wrong routeback. It was then that I walked over to the couple and said, "Would youlike to follow me to the9?"
A look of10crossedthe woman's face. She stared at me, seeming to be in relief(如释重负)but still trying to figure out why I, a stranger, offered them helpat such a late time.
"I'm going right there," I explained, which wasn't a(an)11because T had just made up my12to do that.
I got in my car and began to drive13. I was trying to watch to be sure theywere right14me.It took only fifteen minutes to get there as rush hour traffic was beginning to15. I felt better than I had all day and myheadache was nearly gone.
