Passage 2

It was a cold evening. An old man had been standing by the river for hours. His beard(胡须)was frozen (结冰的) while he waited for a ride across the river. The wait scemed endless.Anxiously(焦急地), he watched as several horsemen came around the corner.

He let the first one pass by without trying to get his attention. Then another passed by, and another. Finally, the last rider came near. As this one drew near, the old man said, “Sir, would you mind giving an old man a ride to the other side?"

The rider replied, “Sure thing. Get on.” The horseman took the old man not just across the river, but to his home, which was a few miles away.

As they ncared the man's village, the horsem an asked,“Sir, I noticed that you let several other riders pass by without trying to ask for a ride. Then I came up and you asked me for a ride at once. Why? What if I had refused and left you there?”

The old man replied, “I know people pretty well. I looked into the eyes of the other riders and saw that they didn't care about me. It would have been useless(无用的) to ask them for a ride. But when I looked into your eyes, your kindness and compassion (怜悯) were clear. I knew that you would help me.”

These heartwarming comments(评论) touched the horseman.“I'm so thankful for what you said,”he told the old man.
