I was walking home from school one day and t happened to be a particularly cold and windy day. It was 1 and I was crazy enough to forget my hat and scarf. You can imagine my cheeks were rosy2 and my hands were as numb as they can be.

All of a sudden, an old lady3 up beside mc and asked if I would like a tide home. At first, I said it was OK and her4  smile melted away the thought that I should never talk to5 ! We had an amazing chat and she was just such a good woman. She told me her6  and she dropped me off.

Let us never forget the joy we get 15 giving others a hand!
