Last summer, I got a new job. When I was happily waiting for the bus, I found a(n)1 silk umbrella in the corner of the bus stop. I had never seen such a special 2 . Its ribs(骨架) were made of bamboo, which is cool to touch. The umbrella was made of beautiful silk, very light and3 , with wonderful pictures on it. It must be of great importance to someone. I decided to 4 the owner. About 40 minutes later, a lady came in a hurry and looked for something.
"Are you looking for the umbrella?" I asked. "Yes!" she said excitedly and thankfully. She 5 a smile and took the umbrella. Her eyes were filled with tears. She said that her grandmother,6 had passed away, had given her the umbrella as a birthday present. It meant a lot to 7 . We talked for a while, and I gave her my address and contact information. The reason was that we had a really good 8 .
Over the next several months . I felt sad. I 9 my job, and I could only do some part-time jobs. The New Year was coming. Windows were lit and everyone was running and laughing,10 there should be no New Year for me. I had no 11 for rent(房租) and no gifts for myself or my daughter. Just when I 12 things couldn't get any worse, a deliveryman(送货员) arrived with several parcels(包裹) addressed to me. Inside were gifts from the13 to whom I had returned the umbrella. They were 14 and unexpected, and they brought joy and hope to me and my daughter,
I 15 thought that someone whom I had only met once would give me a gift on such a special day as the New Year. This also makes me more confident that kindness can always flower in the dark.
