問題詳情
A month after Hurricace Katrina, I returned home in New Orleans. There lay my house,reduced to waist-high rains, smelly and dirty.Before the trip, I’d had my car fixed. When the office employee of the garage was writing upthe bill, she noticed my Louisiana license plate. “You from New Orleans?” she asked. I said I was,“No charge.” She said, and firmly shock her head when I reached for my wallet. The next day Iwent for a haircut, and the same thing happened.As my wife was studying in Florida, we decided to move there and tried to find a rental house that we could afford whilealso paying off a mortgage(抵押贷款)on our ruined house. We looked at many places, but none was satisfactory. We’d began to accept that we’d have to live in extremely reduced circumstances for a while, when I got a very curious e-mail from a James Kemmedy in California. He’d read some pieces I’d written about our sufferings for state, the online magazine and wanted to give us (“no conditions attached”) a new house across the lake from New Orleans.It sounded a good to her return, but I replied, thinking him for his exceptional generosity, then we to go back. Then the University of Florida offered to let him house to me. While he want to England on his one year, paid leave. The rent was rather reasonable. I mentioned the poet’s offer to James Kemdedy, andthenext day he sent a check covering our entire rent for eight months. Throughout this painful experience , the kindness of strangers back my faith in humanity .It’s almost worth losing you wordy possessions to be reminded that people really when given had a channel.
