Question

 We had a wonderful holiday in Idaho and we were driving home a day earlier than we，d planned. We went through a small town and discovered a truck on  1          and the driver，Bason,was sitting on the side of the road. We 2      to help him and offer any 3       we could.
  The driver had a 4       on his left hand and shoulder. We told him to 5      ,brought our towels(毛巾) to 6       his hand and some water to keep it 7       for him until help arrived.

  Bason told us his truck was 8       and as he pulled over to cool it off,it just went up in flames. He 9       to get a fire extinguisher(滅火器) out to battle the fire but couldn’t 10       it. Bason said, “I’ve never seen anything like it in my life. A truck can 11       burn to the ground within an hour!” Bason was very 12       that someone stayed with him until emergency help could arrive. He also shared that his family was the first thing he 13       and that he wanted just to be with them. He said his truck was totally insured (投保) and wasn’t 14       at all about that at that time，just grateful to be 15      .

We were there and could 16       him. Coincidence? Perhaps. But we believe some things just happen for 17       beyond our understanding at the time. We believe sometimes challenges or opportunities 18       our way because we need to grow. We need to 19       and become more than we are. We need to help others. This experience was probably one of those 20       for us. I will never forget it.
