The Homeless Hero

For many, finding an unattended wallet filled with £400 in cash would be a source(来源)of temptation(诱惑). But the         1       would no doubt be greater if you were living on the streets with little food and money. All of this makes the actions of the homeless Tom Smith         2       more remarkable.

After spotting a         3       on the front seat inside a parked car with its window down, he stood guard in the rain for about two hours waiting for the         4       to return.

After hours in the cold and wet, he         5       inside and pulled the wallet out hoping to find some ID so he could contact(联系)the driver, only to         6       it contained £400 in notes, with another £50 in spare change beside it.

He then took the wallet to a nearby police station after         7       a note behind to let the owner know it was safe. When the car's owner John Anderson and his colleague Carol Lawrence returned to the car-which was itself worth £35, 000-in Glasgow city centre, they were         8       to find two policemen standing next to it. The policemen told them what Mr. Smith did and that the wallet was         9       .

The pair were later able to thank Mr. Smith for his         10       .

Mr. Anderson said:"I couldn't believe that the guy never took a penny. To think he is sleeping on the streets tonight         11       he could have stolen the money and paid for a place to stay in. This guy has nothing and         12       he didn't take the wallet for himself;he thought about others         13       . It's unbelievable. It just proves there are         14       guys out there."

Mr. Smith's act         15       much of the public's attention. He also won praise from social media users after Mr. Anderson         16       about the act of kindness on Facebook.

Now Mr. Anderson has set up an online campaign to         17       money for Mr. Smith and other homeless people in the area, which by yesterday had received £8,000. "I think the faith that everyone has shown         18       him has touched him. People have been approaching him in the street; he's had job         19       and all sorts," Mr. Anderson commented.

For Mr. Smith, this is a possible life-changing         20       . The story once again tells us that one good turn deserves another.
