One Monday morning, I was waiting at the bus stop in Harvard Square. It was very cold, about -8℃. I just missed the bus, so I had to stand there on such a cold day, waiting for the next bus to go to the hospital. My mind was full of anxiety. "Why didn't I leave two minutes earlier?" "What would go wrong with my husband's operation （手术）?" "Will I get to him before it starts?"

Among the others at the bus stop was a woman who was about 50 years old. She wore an old hat, an old pair of boots and a dark coat, but she had no gloves （手套）. Another woman who looked younger came to the older woman and said, "Your hands must be very cold. You will get frostbite （生冻疮） in this weather if you don't wear gloves." With these words, she dropped her heavy bag to the ground. After a while, she took out a pair of purple gloves from her bag, took the older woman's hands and gently placed a glove on each hand. "Thank you. You're so kind." The old woman said again and again.

I was deeply moved （感动） by this act of kindness. A moment ago, I was feeling sorry for myself, but now I felt hopeful and optimistic （乐观）. I thought in this world there were still many people in trouble who were in great need of our help.

A few days later, I went to buy 5 pairs of bright purple gloves in a shop and put them in my bag, just in case （以防） I might run into someone in need on a cold day.
