A Man Named Lawrence
This is an act of kindness that happened to me one Sunday morning.
It was at two o'clock in the morning.We just came out of a club and were trying to find our 1 back to our city.As we were trying to 2 the bus stop, a man came to us and said he would show us 3 it was.Although we were a little 4 , we had no choice but follow him.He told us he was a homeless man and that his name was Lawrence.
When we passed some city workers 5 the streets, they sprayed(噴濺)the homeless man.Lawrence told us that they always sprayed the 6 if they were "in the way".I didn't know why they would do that.They were human beings, 7 , not cattle or objects.
This man had just gotten 8 in the middle of a cold night, but 9 shouting at the workers, he asked them, "How would you 10 if your father or grandfather were treated like this?" He then told us, "It's 11 use shouting at them, because they just get angry.You're better off saying something from the 12 ."
It is 13 ! The world could be so different if only we put our anger 14 , lowered our voices and tried to speak from our hearts.
He took us safely to the stop and on the way talked about everything.We 15 him and told him that we 16 have never found the place on our own.He said, "I have a son of your age, and I hope that if he were 17 , someone would help him."
Not only did Lawrence clear out all the fear and distrust in our hearts, he helped us find our way, in more than one ways. 18 , this man taught us kindness.There was 19 we could really do to repay him.The only thing I hope to do is to 20 other people out.
