It was a rainy night in New Orleans, US. At a bus station, I watched a young girl cry as her baggage(行李) was taken down. It seemed she'd lost her ticket. She begged the bus driver not to leave her behind.
“Losing your ticket is like losing your money,” the bus driver said, and left her in the rain.
But then an old man stood up and blocked the driver's way. “How can you leave that girl out there? You know she had a ticket. You can't just leave her here. You can't leave her in a city where she doesn't have a friend. You will meet your schedule, but she might meet her end.”
The driver showed no sign that he'd heard or even cared about the young girl's problem, or how her travels went.
So the old gentleman said, “I'll pay for her fare. I'll give her a little money to help her on her way.”
He went and bought the ticket for the girl. “How can I repay the kindness you've shown tonight?” She asked. “We're strangers who won't meet again. A mere 'thank you' doesn't seem right.”
The old man said, "What goes around comes around. I've learned this with time. Whatever you give, you always get back. Always be helpful to others and give what you can spare.”
a. The old gentleman argued with the driver about his rude behavior.
b. The girl thanked the old gentleman for his kindness to her.
c. The old gentleman bought a ticket with his money for the girl.
d. The girl begged the driver not to leave her behind.
e. The driver showed no sign to the old gentleman or the girl.

People tried their best to look for the watch in order to get the money.However,the barn was too large and the straw (草) in the barn was too thick.It was getting dark and they were still unable to find it,so they gave up the 100dollars one by one.
But only a small boy still kept on looking for it.He had nothing to eat the whole day.To solve the family problem,he hoped to find the gold watch brothers and sisters have a full meal.
The night was already getting late,the boy was also tired.He was lying in the straw to have a rest when he heard a strange"tick-tock'".He held his breath at once,listened carefully,and followed the sound.He found the watch and got the 100dollars.
