It was really a      2     day for me and I needed a helping hand. At that time I remembered seeing a house a few minutes ago, so I     3      my bike and started walking.

I didn’t speak the local language except “please” and “thank you”, but I needed tools to      4     the bike. I had no idea how to      5     what happened. Then I remembered my translation app! I knew it wouldn’t be perfect, but      6     it would tell people the basics. I walked towards the house, app in hand, and    7       on the door.

The elderly woman Lisa who answered the door looked at me, my broken bike and my     8     . She welcomed me warmly. I was sitting on a chair, with my knees bandaged (绑上绷带的) in just five     9      time. Lisa’s husband Gustavo and a group of neighbors had appeared from nowhere during the five minutes. My accident was     10       becoming a party. Gustavo and a neighbor were enjoying a heated      11      about the best way to repair the wheel on my bike. A bike accident is likely to be a bad thing. But by the time Lisa and Gustavo    12        me at my hotel that night, with a full stomach and a clean, fully repaired bike, I felt like the     13       man in the world.

Although we were     14       before the accident, their behavior encouraged me a lot. I don’t know how to express my     15      . Even today, their kindness continues to make me smile.
