My husband has been ill in hospital for two months and I have learned to make do with very little (凑合过日子).
One Sunday afternoon, I went to buy a
for my daughter with my friend. A woman who was also buying books in the bookstore saw me and said, “I
you must be having a hard time.” I just smiled and said, “I’m okay. I have eight dollars and I have food at home, so I’ll be
.”
About ten
later she came up to me and said, “Can I take a look at the book that you’ve
? It seems very interesting!” I said all right and gave it to her.
Just then
called me and I immediately went out.
I returned she thanked me and
my book.
On my way home my friend who was driving said, “You told me you didn’t had much
?” I replied, “I don’t.”
She said, “Oh yes, you do!” I assured (向……保证) her I
had two dollars left, but still she insisted I
plenty of money.
“Look at your book in your bag,” she
. “There’s a hundred dollar bill in it.” I turned over the page and got so
! There actually was a hundred dollar
that seemed to have fallen out of my book!
I
her, very surprised, and said, “I don’t know
that came from. I have no idea because I certainly did not have a hundred
!”
I thought and thought about the money for days after that. Then I realized it must have come from
who asked to borrow my book in the bookstore. How
of her! And what a wonderful gift to
when I am down to my last two dollars!
