answer. The door had clear glass in it, and the man
18 see that the woman was home. He
decided to knock again. Finally the woman came to the door. The man immediately explained his
19 . “I can fix the chain,” the woman said. Later when the bike was
20 to go,
the man said, ‘Thanks. I hope I can help you some day.”“I never need help,” the woman said.

21 he noticed the woman walking
down the street. A strong wind suddenly lifted(拾起) her hat and sent it into the branches(枝) of
an old tree. The woman tried to get her hat with a stick, but she failed. She seemed
22 because she clearly was not dressed for tree-climbing. The man hurried over, quickly climbed up
to the hat and
23 it into the woman’s waiting hands. When she put on her hat, she
24 the man as he climbed back on his bike. ‘I think I told you I never need help,” the
woman said, “I’m glad you didn’t
