Question

Last January I was given a chance to work in another country. At first, I lived a  36   life, but soon I met a group of new friends and they were really nice.

Then something   37   happened. One of our friends suffered from kidney stones (腎結石), which had to be   38   surgically as soon as possible. But it was not as   39   as that! Our friend could not   40   the operation, which put him into deep   41  . I didn’t know how to help him because I didn’t have any money either.   42  , I never lost hope. Instead I tried to think of other   43  and told him not to worry because everything would be all right.

Before I left the hospital, I talked to the surgeon and asked him to do the surgery, saying I would pay the expenses the next day   44    I had that kind of money. Well, I must have been   45   because the surgeon agreed to do it! But how was I going to get that much money?

All I knew was that I needed to help my friend! Although it could be   46   to deal with this kind of situation, I decided to make some efforts. I tried to borrow money but failed. I tried   47   my things but no one wanted them. Then I had the idea of talking to my    48  . I asked him if I could have my next two months’ salary in advance—without even thinking on how I would   49   for two months with no money. He was surprised and asked me the reason. I told him that I had a friend who was really in need.   50   I convinced him too and then he gave my two months’ salary without any   51  !

Upon getting the money, I ran to the hospital and paid all the bills. My friend didn’t know how to thank me. I just said, “Come on! Give me a   52  !”

Friendship may not only be found at the happy moment but sometimes you can find it on the   53   time in your life! I’ve done a good thing by being a (an)   54   friend and I think it is well worth the   55 .
