1, Last summer I stayed in a small hotel during a trip. The place was quiet, and I went to bed quite early., 2, Around 1 a.m. someone knocked on my door. Not very loudly, just two slow knocks., 3, When I opened the door, nobody was there… but there was a black box on the floor in front of my room., 4, I was driving home late last night through the countryside when I saw a luxury car parked right in the middle of the road with its engine still running., 5, I got out to help, but the driver’s side door was wide open. There was a mobile phone on the seat, glowing with ten missed calls from the same unknown number., 6, I picked up the phone just as it started ringing again. When I answered, a voice said my name., 7, Last summer, I was lost in Rome. I wanted to find a famous pasta shop. I saw a man near a cafe. He had a stylish scarf and he was drinking espresso. He looked like a local Italian man. I asked him for directions in my best Italian, 8, The man smiled. He talked for a long time in Italian and pointed down the street. I didn't understand everything, but I said 'Grazie!' and followed his directions. I walked for twenty minutes through small streets and climbed many stairs. I was very tired and very hungry., 9, Finally, I stopped walking. I looked around and I was surprised. I was back at the same cafe! The man was still there. He laughed and spoke to me in perfect English: 'Oh, hello again! I am actually a tourist from America. I don't know this city, but I wanted to be polite and help you!
