Yesterday I was fortunate enough to find one more person in our world who is kind and caring．It was about 11：00 p．m．  1   my telephone rang．The caller ID showed the number of a Best Western Hotel． 2  , I would ignore this type of call．For some reason,   3  , I went ahead and answered．

       The man on the other end asked if I knew Samual K．I   4  , as he is my 91 – year – old grandfather．Still not   5   why I was the one that had been called, the caller went on to tell me that I was the only   6   listed in the phone book．He said his name was Mason and that he was the   7  at the Best Western Hotel．The   8   was that grandpa had no money with him, and that he couldn’t   9   any phone numbers, so Mason called all over the state trying to get help．

       Grandpa told me that he just wanted me to tell Mason that he is a（n）   10  guy and would pay the money once he got home．But the man in charge there was  11   because my grandfather seemed to be  12  ．He had been going somewhere else when he got on the wrong bus and   13   100 miles from home．

       Not wanting to turn him away and not wanting the police to   14   him to the police station, Mason,   15   any normal duty, not only took the time to   16   me, but also charged just $ 39 so that grandpa could   17   safely and comfortably overnight．（The rooms normally rent for about $ 140!） Besides, he had the staff of that hotel all   18   him until my uncle was able to drive the 100 miles to pick him up!

       So, it’s just one more piece of   19   that proves that there are still good people out there; wherever you go, there is always one who   20  ．

When I was young I loved taking part in high school musicals．I loved to   36   in front of hundreds of people．In one production, I auditioned（试音）like  37   else. My music teacher was   38  that I would get a particular part in the music drama. The part I thought I had was a   39 lead who sang some of the most beautiful love songs.

But one day the show director pulled me aside. I was   40 to be offered the leading role. To my disappointment, he said, “Bob, I found a boy with an excellent voice. I need to give the   41 to him.”

From that moment on I began hating music class. I  42 that I didn’t like what we were singing. My music teacher didn’t know why. She   43 me in front of the class and told me I had changed. She didn’t know what I had been told. But when they  44 the finalists, I was given a  45 role. For some time my pride was  46 with having to do something I didn’t think I should be doing. But I did it. The minor role I had   47 to be much more fun than I had expected. My performance even   48 my brother who was also in the audience.

Life is really like a   49 and although we do not audition for the role, each of us is   50 by the director to play a certain part in it. The  51 is that we sometimes don’t like the part we are given. Like me in high school I became   52  -–if I couldn’t be the lead, I wouldn’t show up for rehearsal（彩排）.

Then we wonder why we feel so   53 . Sometimes we don’t even feel like we are a part of the “Big Show. ” Everyone does indeed have a role. Some are in front of the curtain, some are behind, but all are  54 for the show to go on. All   55 to success no matter how minor the part is.

Yesterday I was fortunate enough to find one more person in our world who is kind and caring. It was about 11:00 p.m.   16   my telephone rang. The caller ID showed the number of a Best Western Hotel.   17  , I would ignore this type of call. For some reason,   18  , I went ahead and answered.

The man on the other end asked if I knew Samual K. I   19  , as he is my 91 – year – old grandfather. Still not   20   why I was the one that had been called, the caller went on to tell me that I was the only   21   listed in the phone book. He said his name was Mason and that he was the   22   at the Best Western Hotel. The   23   was that grandpa had no money with him, and that he couldn’t   24   any phone numbers, so Mason called all over the state trying to get help.

Grandpa told me that he just wanted me to tell Mason that he is a (n)   25   guy and would pay the money once he got home. But the man in charge there was   26   because my grandfather seemed to be   27  . He had been going somewhere else when he got on the wrong bus and   28   100 miles from home.

Not wanting to turn him away and not wanting the police to   29   him to the police station, Mason,   30   any normal duty, not only took the time to   31   me, but also charged just $ 39 so that grandpa could   32   safely and comfortably overnight. (The rooms normally rent for about $ 140!) Besides, he had the staff of that hotel all   33   him until my uncle was able to drive the 100 miles to pick him up!

So, it’s just one more piece of   34   that proves that there are still good people out there; wherever you go, there is always one who   35  .
