Nick had dinner in the hotel that evening. He finished eating and got up from his table ... and saw the man with white hair.

尼克趕緊走了過去。那個男人站在酒店的前臺旁邊。尼克能看到那個高出人叢的白色腦袋。
'Excuse me!' said Nick. He pushed past the people in the hotel restaurant. A small boy ran in front of him and Nick ran into him. The boy and Nick fell down on the floor. The boy began to cry.
“對不起，請讓一下！”尼克說道。他推開酒店餐廳里的人群。一個小男孩兒擋住了他的去路，尼克撞到了他。男孩兒和尼克都摔倒在地上。男孩兒哭了起來。
'Hey!' said a woman behind Nick.
“嗨！”尼克身后的一個女人喊道。
'I'm very sorry!' said Nick. He got up and helped the boy to his feet. 'Are you OK?' he asked the boy.

'Be more careful next time,' said the woman.
