The world needs more people who are truly kind and caring. Yesterday it was about 11:00 p.m. _36_ my telephone rang. The number was that of a Best Western Hotel.  _37_ I don’t pay attention to this type of call. _38_, this time, for some reason, I went ahead and answered it.

The man on the _39_ end asked if I knew Samuel K., my 91-year-old grandfather. I didn’t _40_ why I was the one he had called. The caller went on to tell me that I was the only _41_ listed in my grandpa’s phone book.

The _42_, Mr. Mason, was the manager of the hotel at which my grandpa had shown up, wanting to rent a room. The _43_ was that my grandpa had no money with him. He was _44_. He had been going _45_ else but had taken the wrong bus and _46_ 100 miles from home. My grandpa just wanted me to tell Mr. Mason that he was a(n) _47_ guy and would pay the money once he got home.

The manager did all he could to help my grandpa, since he didn’t want to _48_ my grandpa, and wanted him to spend a _49_ night. Not only did he take the time to _50_ me, but he also charged just $39 to let my grandpa _51_ safely and comfortably overnight. The rooms in that _52_ normally go for about $140! And then the staff there all _53_ him until my uncle could drive the 100 miles to pick him up!

This is just one more _54_ to show that there are still good people out there. Everywhere you go, you can find someone who _55_ . Thanks, Mr. Mason!

It must have been around nine o’clock when I drove back home from work because it was already dark． As I came near to the gates I turned off the head lights of the car so as to prevent the beam from swinging (摆动) through the window and waking Jack, who shared the house with me． But I needn’t have done so． I noticed that his light was still on, so he was awake anyway—unless he had fallen asleep while reading． I put the car away and went up the steps．
Then I opened the door quietly and went to Jack’s room． He was in bed awake, but he didn’t even turn towards me．
“What’s up, Jack﹖” I asked．
“For God’s sake, don’t make a noise,” he said．
The way he spoke reminded me of someone in pain who is afraid to talk in case he does himself serious injury．
“Take your shoes off, Neville,” Jack said．
I thought that he must be ill and that I had better give way to him to keep him happy． “There is a snake here,” he explained． “It’s asleep between the sheets． I was lying on my back reading when I saw it．I knew that moving was out of the question． I could not have moved even I’d wanted to．” I realized that he was serious． “I was depending on you to call a doctor as soon as you came home,” Jack went on． “It has not bitten me yet but I dare not do anything to upset it． It might wake up． I’m sick of this,” he said．“I took it for granted that you would have come home an hour ago．”
There was no time to argue or apologize for being late．I looked at him as encouraging as I could and went to telephone the doctor．
