Just recently I had been wondering if there was much point in doing little acts of kindness. So often they get
36 , and occasionally they come back to bite you!
Then, just last week, after a long travel, I found myself
37 at a bus station. The bus was four hours late! So, I guess I wasn’t in a good
38 .
That’s when a woman asked me if I had any spare
39 to help her get a bus ticket.
“Oh, sure,” I said sarcastically (挖苦地). “How much would you like?”
As I spoke, I mentally kicked myself for my
40 and reached into my bag for some money. As I handed her five dollars, I heard low sounds from her stomach because of real
41 .
I reached back into my bag and brought out a
42 I had bought earlier. I handed it to her with a(n)
43 that I hoped would make up for my earlier tone of voice. Getting a
44 look at her now, I realized she was extremely tired, like she had had several months of
45 days!
As she took the food, a look of
46 washed over her. In return, she tried to give me a Milwaukee bus ticket! I don’t live in Milwaukee and the ticket will probably
47 be used, but I took it.
A few minutes later she came back over, apologized, and told me she was still
48 of five dollars. I took some singles out of my bag and slipped a twenty in there as well.
49 , the voice in my head told me I was being a fool.
Five minutes later she came back again and tried to
50 my twenty. When I said it was for her so she could get something else to
51 , and that I was completely serious and I wasn’t taking it
52 , she started crying and hugged me.
From now on, when I wonder if it is
53 trying to help someone, I will remember that woman. Maybe I am really making a
54 for someone. So, sure, sometimes my efforts might not be noticed, and sometimes they might come back to bite me, but they might actually
55 another human being!
