11.As I did not have a boyfriend,I decided to treat myself on Valentine's Day.I was on my way to the supermarket when I saw an old man.He had a walking stick and could only walk a few steps before he tired.He tried to hold a tree and almost fell down.I went to him and offered to take him home.
He had a few other items to collect in the town centre,so I went with him.We went to the chemist's to buy some medicine,then to a food store where he only picked up tow items.Total time with him was about half an hour.I was quite certain that if he'd been doing it all alone,he would have spent two hours or more.
He was in his late 80's and was called Sid.Sid had"Rose"tattooed(紋)on his finger,his wife's name.She died 2years old.I learned that Sid was alone now.He once had two sons:one died a few weeks after he was born,and the other died with a heart problem.Sid volunteered all his information as we walked back to my car for me to drive him home.I couldn't imagine his heartbreak.
When we arrived at Sid's home,he gave me a big hug and thanked me.He told me not to worry about him and he believed tomorrow would be better.I was glad that I met Sid today.Helping Sid made me learn a lot.I no longer felt a need to treat myself to roses in the supermarket.I had already been gifted by the old man.
