Twenty years ago,I drove a taxi for a living.I met 2l people.But none touched me 22 than a woman I picked up late one night.
I received a call from 23 in a quiet part of town.When I arrived at 2:30 a.m.,the building was 24 except for a single light in a ground floor window.I walked to the door and 25 .“Just a minute,”answered a 26 ,elderly voice.After a long pause,the door opened.A small woman 27 her 80s stood before me.Beside her was a small suitcase.I took it to the taxi.and then returned to 28 the woman.She took my arm and we walked 29 toward the roadside.
Seated,she gave me 30 .“I’m on my way to a hospice(临终关怀医院).I'm in no hurry.Can you drive through downtown?” I saw her eyes shining with 31 in the rearview mirror.“I don’t have any 32 left.”she continued.“The doctor says I don’t have very long.”
During the next two hours’ 33 , sometimes she asked me to 34 in front of a particular building or corner and she 35 stare into the darkness.When we got to the destination,she asked,“How much do I 36 you?” “Nothing,”I said.“You 37 make a living.”she answered.“I have 38 passengers,”I replied,and gave her a hug. She held onto me 39 .“You gave an old woman a little moment of joy,” she said.“Thank you.”
After that,I drove aimlessly,lost in thought.People usually believe that our lives center upon great moments. 40 great moments often catch us unaware,beautifully wrapped in what others may consider a small one.
