Question

My name is Paul. This happened to me when I was traveling in Paris.

I was walking on the street when a man came up to me. ＂Do you speak English?＂ he asked.

＂Yes,＂ I said.

Then he said he was a cook from Montreal, Canada. He told me he had a(n) _______. ＂I’m here in Paris with my wife and our _______ children, and we don’t have enough money for a hotel. My wife tried to get money from a cash machine (自動取款機), but she couldn’t _______ the PIN number (密碼). She used the wrong number three times, so the machine kept her card. Could you _______ me?＂ I wasn’t sure, so I asked to see his passport (護照). ＂My passport is with my wife. She is tired, so she’s _______ in a coffee shop with our three children. We only need $100 for the night, and I _______ I’ll pay you back.＂ By this time the man was actually crying, so I thought he was telling the truth. I _______ to lend him the money. Then we went to a cash machine, and I gave him the money. He said thank you and left. I _______ saw him or heard from him again.

I knew maybe his story wasn’t true. _______ I felt like I had to help him at that time. What if he had some other difficulties that he just hoped to hide ________ anyone? Anyway, $100 wasn’t that much and helping him made me feel peaceful.
