A few days ago,I went to school with lots of books,hoping to get a locker (鎖柜).Suddenly,itstarted raining heavily. I hurried to pay for my locker,but I was disappointed when they informedme they only accepted cash. I was $7.00 short,which meant I had to carry the books back home. Itwould be an exhausting (令人筋疲力盡的) two-hour journey back home with all those books.
An elderly gentleman nearby noticed my problem. He asked how much cash I needed. When I told himI was $7 short,he quickly took out the money from his wallet. “You don’t have to pay me back,”hesaid. I was speechless;I didn’t know whether to take the money or come back with the books thenext day. A young student who was working there noticed my hesitation. “He’s really nice,” saidthe student. “I was starving this morning and he bought breakfast for me. He always helps people indifferent ways.”
adj. 漠不關心的,無重要性的,中立的
