曾在医院过夜的人，对走廊的地板，或可租借的折叠床一般都不陌生。
每一天，每一刻，多少躺在地面，长椅，折叠床上的身影，坚持着，等待着一个新的希望。
这篇故事，折叠床设置在医院对面一个家庭的门廊里。一个简单的情景，却彰显着人性的光辉。
下面我把故事分享给大家。
enjoy your read!
下面是续写题目
Our house was across the street from the entrance of a famous hospital in the city. We lived downstairs and rented the upstairs rooms to patients at the clinic. As I was fixing supper one summer evening, there was a knock at the door. I opened it to see a truly awful-looking man.
"He's hardly taller than my eight-year-old," I thought. Yet his voice was pleasant as he said, "Good evening. I've come to see if you have a room for just one night. I came for treatment from the eastern shore this morning, and there's no bus till the morning. "
For a moment, I hesitated, but his following words convinced me: "I could sleep in this rocking chair on the porch (门廊). My bus leaves early in the morning." So I told him we would find him a bed but to rest on the porch.
I went inside and finished getting supper. When we were ready, I asked the old man if he would join us. "No, thank you." When I had finished the dishes, I went out to talk with him for a few minutes.
It didn't take long to see that this older man had a big heart crowded into that tiny body. He told me he fished for a living to support his family. He was grateful that no pain accompanied his disease, which was a form of skin cancer.
At bedtime, we put a camp cot (折叠床) in the children's room for him. When I got up in the morning, the bed was neatly folded. He refused breakfast, but just before he left for his bus, he said, "Could I please come back and stay the next time I have a treatment?"
He paused a moment and then added, "Your children made me feel at home. Grownups are bothered by my face, but children don't seem to mind. " I told him he was welcome to come again.
Para 1: On his next trip, he brought a big fish as a gift.
Para 2: My neighbor asked me, "Did you keep that awful- looking man? You can lose roomers (房客) by putting up such people!"
