Someone stole ( 偷) my bike last Saturday. So I decided to leave the thief (贼) a 1.

Using the yellow paint, I 2 a big cardboard sign (标识) and put it up on my gate. It said:

"To the person who stole my bike:

I hope you 3 it more than I do. I need it to get to work. I don't have enough money to 4 another one.

PS: Bring it back."

I felt a little foolish (愚蠢的) 5 the sign. But I knew other people's bikes had been stolen, and the least I could do was say what had 6 . I left it up for seven 7 .

On Wednesday evening, a young man, taking a 8 , came to my house.

"Did you get your bike stolen?"asked the man."I used to 9 this bike around the neighborhood and it worked well, so I thought you might need it."I was surprised, saying I was really 10 . I was surprised not by the bike, but by the man's desire (愿望) to 11 . At last, I accepted (接受) and was touched by the 12 man.

It snowed the next day. My family asked me to 13 the sign, but I said I wouldn't — my bike was stolen on the weekend, so the sign would stay up until the next weekend.

On Saturday morning, a woman came around. She said she drove twice around the neighborhood so she could 14 read my sign."What kind of bike do you need?"she asked."If I 15 one, I'll bring it to you."

I was touched again. This sign was changing things. So much kindness was pouring out from such a simple act of opening myself up to the world.
