It was one of those cold winter nights in the Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco . I was driving an eyesore(丑陋的东西)that could only be 36 as a “ car ” by someone who was either a shameless liar or a good friend .
It was 37 to drive the car because you had to keep your fingers and toes crossed to keep the engine running . I tried to imagine I was driving a huge clumsy 38 ; that way I didn’t 39 the slow speed .
That night I must have uncrossed my fingers to scratch something . The car 40 in the middle of a four-lane stretch of Oak Street . I 41 for a place to turn off(拐弯), but the street was lined with parked cars .
There I sat , in 42 traffic , as tons of vehicles screamed by . In my rearview mirror(后视镜)I saw a car 43 behind me . I knew what was coming . Soon the horn would start and someone would be 44 at me . But I was 45 .
A stranger got out of the car and came to my 46 . He asked , “ Do you want a 47 ?”
I was surprised but 48 . And then he 49 to his car and two teens piled out to help push my car . When I was 50 delivered to a side street , they got back into their car and rejoined the sea of 51 . I didn’t get to 52 them .
Over the years I’ve realized something about the 53 who stopped to help . I’ve noticed that every time I’m in 54 , he appears . The one true thing in this world is an unasked 55 provided by a stranger .
