I was getting ready to go to bed when the phone rang. This could not be good. My mind 1 through the list of family members who might need help, but the 2 was hardly familiar.
"Lindy, this is Lesley." I didn't know Lesley well. We did 3 speak with each other, but to say we were friends was not appropriate. I asked what she needed. Perhaps something really awful caused her to 4 someone she barely knew. 5 , she asked me, "Do you have room for a turkey? In your freezer?" We had lots of room in our freezer, and in fact, too much. "Sure," I responded, "did your freezer6 ?" "Not exactly," Lesley replied, "but I will explain when I arrive."
Minutes later came a huge freezer truck. Lesley stepped down and 7 the lease(租约) of the grocer store her husband serviced had 8 and that they had to empty all the freezers that very night. Thinking it was a shame to throw away all this good food, they decided to 9 off food to anyone she could think of. 10 our freezer was pretty empty, Lesley asked to fill it up. Our home was their 11 stop and anything left would have to be put in our freezer. An hour later, everything finished, I asked her, "When will you come back for all this?" Lesley 12 , "We don't want it back. It is yours! Thanks for helping us out!" Then they waved goodbye and drove away.
"For helping them out?" We opened our freezer door. Inside were all expensive foods we never bought but often 13 to try. We were struggling to buy groceries, 14 it was not something we shared with anyone. However, our 15 were met in an unexpected way, by that "Do you have room for a turkey?"
