One afternoon last summer I was driving along on my way home when I noticed a woman at the roadside near the edge of town. She was     a wheeled suitcase and was having a rough way to go since there was no sidewalk, only grass.

I pulled over to a nearby parking lot to     her. I suspected that she was     the homeless shelter across the street.     it became apparent that she was on her way somewhere, I continued to observe. She appeared to be in her fifties and was dressed very     , a skirt nearly to her ankles, a blouse, and a lace shawl around her shoulders. In truth, I was not only     her situation but whether or not she had the     to harm me if I intervened (干涉).

After a couple of minutes I turned around, pulled the car up next to her and offered her a     . She accepted. Her story was     , but she did share that she had been travelling for a while and that     had helped her along the way. Her     was a city about three hours drive from where we were and it didn’t sound as though she had a place to go there. I offered to take her to the half way point and she accepted.

Along the way, we stopped for food and drink for her which she     on paying for with her own money. When we well reached the town I had agreed to take her to, she asked if we could stop at a grocery store.

I was     that by this time she had developed enough     in me to leave her suitcase in the car while she shopped. While she was inside I located a Holiday Inn nearby and     ahead to see if there were     ; I explained my rather unusual situation to the person on the other     of the phone.

Upon her     from the grocery store, I shared what I had done and she     my offer of a room for the night. We drove to the     and the kind young woman there provided what discounts she could as well as a room with a refrigerator. She stated that she was touched that “people don’t do this kind of thing.”
