That cold January night, I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco. There I was, walking home at one in the 1 after a tiring practice at the theatre. With 2 night only a week away, I was still learning my 3 . I was having 4 dealing with my part-time job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought 5 about giving up both acting and San Francisco. City life had become too much for me.

As I walked down empty streets under tall buildings, I felt very small and cold. I began 6 , both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible 7 . Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking 8 people under blankets.

About a block from my 9 , I heard a sound behind me. I turned quickly, half 10 to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining streetlight. 11 , the noise had made me nervous, so I started to run faster. Not until I reached my apartment building and unlocked the door did I realize what the noise had been. It had been my 12 falling to the sidewalk.

Suddenly I wasn't cold or tired any more. I ran out of the door and back to 13 I'd heard the noise. Although I searched the 14 anxiously for fifteen minutes, my wallet was nowhere to be found.

Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbage truck pull up to the sidewalk next to me. When a 15 called from the inside, "Alisa Camacho?" I thought I was 16 . How could this man know my name? The door opened, and out 17 a small red-haired man with an amused look in his eyes. "Is this what you're looking for?" he asked, 18 up a small square shape.

It was nearly 3 A.M. by the time I got into bed. I wouldn't get much sleep that night, but I had gotten my wallet back. I also had gotten back some enjoyment of 19 life. I realized that the city couldn't be a bad place 20 people were willing to help each other.
