I was ready to pay for my bananas at the grocery one night, when fear seized me. My wallet was gone. I could only have left it on the G9 bus, which was now speeding in the dark to some ___16___ station.
The ___17___ moment was quickly followed by mental math. How much time and money would it cost to replace the ___18___ of that little wallet? The credit cards, the driver’s license, the cash, all lost to the bus.
Two hours later, back at my house, I heard a knock on the door. My husband ___19___ it while I was on the phone in the dining room. “Does Jennifer live here?” I heard a lady say. In my husband’s hand was my wallet, with not a penny ___20___. She left before I could ___21___ make it to the door to offer my thanks.
After sharing the story online, I heard from someone, who ___22___ the lady as Erin Smith. Without ___23___, I called to thank her. She said she ___24___ my wallet on a bus seat. She ___25___ that going to a stranger’s house was a ___26___ move, but she decided to take the chance. “If I were in that ___27___, I would want someone to try to find me,” she said.
This one stranger responded beautifully to my small ___28___, but she actually wasn’t the only one. Right after Erin ___29___ my wallet on the bus, she posted a picture of my driver’s license to an online forum(论坛), trying to see ___30___ anyone knew me. No sooner did she leave my doorstep than I had emails from two women whose kids go to my son’s nursery and who recognized my face. I’ve never ___31___ words with those moms beyond small talk, but they wanted to help. I read that people are more divided than ever, but that’s not how the people I ___32___ tend to act.
___33___, I feel blessed someone had wanted to help a stranger. Erin had gone ___34___ what almost anyone would have done, finding my house on a bitterly cold night, and for that I was extremely ___35___.
