     A

     Twenty years ago,I drove a taxi for a living and sometimes I had to work at night.

     One late night,I got a telephone call from a neighborhood. When I arrived there at 2:30 a. m.，the only building was dark except for a single light in the first floor window. So I walked up and knocked at the door.

    “Just a minute ,” answered a weak voice. After a long time,the door opened and a small woman stood in front of me. Next to her was a small suitcase.

     Quickly I took her suitcase to the car and then returned to hold her. She kept thanking me.

     When we got in the car,she asked, “Can you drive me through downtown (市中心) ？”

     “But it's too late now ,” I replied.

     I don t; mind ,” she said slowly. “I'm in no hurry.The doctor says I don't have much time left...”

     I quietly turned off the meter. For the next two hours,we drove through the city and passed the building where she had once worked,the neighborhood where she and her husband had lived,and some other special places. As the sun was rising,we stopped in front of a low building where two nurses were waiting.

     “How much do I have to pay?” she asked “Nothing ,” I replied.

     She looked surprised. “You gave a dying woman a little moment of joy”，she said. “Thank you."

     Sometimes people may not remember exactly what you did or said. However,theyll always remember how you made them feel.
