72、 the bar.With great gratitude towards Charlie, I knocked at the door.However, no one came to answer it.Then I found the door was not locked and there was nothing inside except the old piano.A letter on it drew my attention.I learnt from it that Charlie had been to California and would never come back.But what impressed me most was the last line and it remains my motto.It reads，“God never takes your hope away.”
