The phone rang. It was Lisa, my 86-year-old friend, calling. Lisa was wondering if I could take her to Flint to see the eye doctor. I promised her I could, so on the date of the appointment (预约) I drove over to her home to pick her up.Lisas eyesight was failing, so she wasnt able to drive her car anymore.

We were at a complete stop when someone hit us from behind. Lisa was very angry, and she even started to say some dirty words in a low voice. I could tell this situation could get very bad.There really wasnt any reason why someone should rear end (追尾) the car so I wasnt sure what was going on when I pulled over. I was feeling a little nervous when I got out of the car. As I walked around the car a young woman got out of the car with anger! I could see all the other doors on her car starting to open. For some unknown reason, I walked over to this young woman and put my arms around her and gave her a hug.

During summer vacations, I would volunteer at the pet rescue (救助) center, so I could see a lot of dogs. Minnie was the funniest-looking dog Id ever seen by far. Her body looked like a sausage. Her hair was too thin to cover her body. Her eyes always seemed surprised, and her tail was so short that it looked like a rats tail. She looked so strange that her owner didnt want her any more. She was brought to the center. But I thought, “Minnie was kind and sweet. No one should laugh at her strange looking.” So I gave Minnie a good bath and advertiseher in the newspaper: “Funny-looking dog, kind and sweet, needs loving family.” Later, a boy called me, but I warned him that Minnie was ugly. However, the boy told me that his grandfathers sixteen-year-old dog had just died. They wanted to keep Minnie very much. Hearing these words, I said that they could take Minnie away. I combed (梳) her hair, and gave her a good bath. Then we waited for them to arrive. At last, an old car stopped in front of the pet rescue center. Two kids raced to the door. They put Minnie into their arms and rushed out to their grandfather, who was waiting in the car. I hurried behind them to see his reaction (反应). Inside the car, the grandfather put Minnie in his arms and touched her soft hair. Shelooked very relaxed and happy. “Shes perfect, and I like her!” the old man said.

So I went back to the grandfathers house. The grandfather was walking in the garden with Minnie leading the way. I could see both of them were happy. “Minnie is the most beautiful dog in my eyes,” said the grandfather, “Ive never felt happier before!” H
