25、omeless people under blankets. About a block from my apartment, I heard a sound behind me. I turned quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty.

26、eached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my wallet falling to the sidewalk. Suddenly I wasnt cold or tired any more. I ran out of the door and back to where Id heard the noise. Although I searched the sidewalk anxiously for fifteen minutes
27、, my wallet was nowhere to be found. Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbage truck pull up to the sidewalk next to me.

Some give heartfelt thanks for being there whenever the child needed Dad.第二节到此结束。
