While most people were warming up their cars, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride
11、his bike four kilometers away from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone.The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to - 4 -get to work, putting in 60-h
12、our weeks to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries, saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live. I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that, several people in our area of
13、fered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job.

14、assed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so.
