是以I was riding my son's scooter home from the library while开头的要带答案

Answer 1

I was riding my son's scooter home from the library while he was accompanying me on his bicycle. I was wearing a heavy backpack loaded full of books. Suddenly the scooter hit a rock and I was thrown from it and landed flat on my face onto the pavement. My concerned son, who is 8 years old, rushed to my side to help me and bravely stood next to me holding both his bike and the scooter as I tried to get up.

I then realized that my front tooth was lying on the sidewalk beside me! I scooped it into my pocket and then probed my mouth with my tongue to assess the damage. Not wanting to alarm my son, I tried to get up and reassure him that I was okay. As I tried to stand, my head was spinning and I felt nauseous so I bent down and put my head between my knees. Cars were speeding past us on the main road, unaware of my little drama. Neither me or my husband own a cell phone (surprising, I know) so I just figured we'd walk home a little slowly. We were about 3/4 mile from home.

As I was pondering all of this sitting on the sidewalk, an older gentleman came up to us and repeatedly asked if I was ok and if he could do anything to help. I asked him if he had a cell phone. He did and I used it to call my husband to drive over and pick us up. Once I stood up I thanked the gentleman and told him I really was grateful for his help. He walked off, but I could see him watching us from a distance to see that we were really ok.

Since I was still shaken up by the incident when my husband came, I did not have the clarity of thought to ask for the gentleman's name or address. Afterwards, I simply thought of him as the real "good samaritan" and I have done my best to "pay his kindness forward" to others.

So, nameless, kind stranger--THANK YOU! And for those of you who take your cell phone for granted, remember that you can use it to help someone someday!
