This was an unforgettable and wonderful experience. It happened about three years ago and it has had a 41 effect on me. I would like to show respect here for the two men I do not know 42 but whose actions gave a new 43 to the words—kind and generous.

Without saying anything, he first gave him a lot of 49 and then he sat down and took off his gloves(手套), beautiful black leather shoes and his black dress socks. Then he 50 them to the homeless man. The homeless man took them and stared with a/an 51 mouth.

As he drove off, I couldn’t 52 thinking that it was probably the first time he had 53 the pedal(踏板)of that top-brand BMW car with a 54 foot! I stood there and the looks of 55 appeared on my face and the homeless man’s.

Goldie's Secret

She turned up at the doorstep of my house in Cornwall. No way could I have sent her away. No way, not me anyway. Maybe someone had kicked her out of their car the night before. "We're moving house.'; "No space for her any more with the baby coming." "We never really wanted her, but what could we have done? She was a present." People find all sorts of excuses for abandoning an animal. And she was one of the most beautiful dogs I had ever seen.

I called her Goldie. If I had known what was going to happen I would have given her a more creative name. She was so unsettled during those first few days. She hardly ate anything and had such an air of sadness about her. There was nothing I could do to make her happy, it seemed. Heaven knows what had happened to her at her previous owner's. But eventually at the end of the first week she calmed down. Always by my side, whether we were out on one of our long walks or sitting by the fire.

That's why it was such a shock when she pulled away from me one day when we were out for a walk. We were a long way from home, when she started barking and getting very restless. Eventually I couldn't hold her any longer and she raced off down the road towards a farmhouse in the distance as fast as she could.

By the time I reached the farm I was very tired and upset with Goldie. But when I saw her licking (舔) the four puppies (幼犬) I started to feel sympathy towards them. "We didn't know what had happened to her," said the woman at the door. "I took her for a walk one day, soon after the puppies were born, and she just disappeared." "She must have tried to come back to them and got lost," added a boy from behind her. '

I must admit I do miss Goldie, but I've got Nugget now, and she looks just like her mother. And I've learnt a good lesson: not to judge people.
