Twenty years ago, I drove a taxi for a living．One night I went to pick up a passenger at 2:30 A.M．When I  31  , I found the building was dark except for a single light in a ground floor   32  ．I walked to the door and knocked, “Just a minute,” answered a weak, elderly   33  ．After a long pause, the door opened．A small woman in her eighties stood   34   me．By her side was a small suitcase．I took the suitcase to the car, and then   35  to help the woman．She took my arm and we walked   36   toward the car．

She kept thanking me for my kindness．“It’s nothing,” I told her．“I just try to   37   my passengers the way I would want my mother treated．”When we got into the taxi, she gave me an address, and then asked, “Could you drive   38  downtown?”

“It’s not the shortest way,” I answered quickly．

“Oh, I’m   39  ,” she said．“I’m on my way to a hospice(临终医院)．I don’t have any   40   left．The doctor says I don’t live very long．”

I quietly reached over and  41   the meter(计价器)．For the next two hours, we drove through the city．She   42  me the building where she had once worked, the  neighborhood where she had lived, and the furniture shop that had once been a ballroom where she had gone  43   as a girl. Sometimes she’d ask me to slow down in front of a   44   building and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing．At   45  , she suddenly said,” I’m tired．Let’s go now．” We drove in silence to the   46  she had given me．

“How much do I   47  you?” she asked．

“Nothing．” I said．

“You have to make a living,” she answered．“Oh, there are other  48  ,” I answered．

Almost without thinking, I   49   and gave her a hug．She held into me tightly．Our hug ended with her   50  , “You gave an old woman a little moment of joy．”
