21、It was raining hard and nearing dark. I was late for an appointment in a nearby city that I know only by GPS. And now my phone has died. The usual exits were closed. I didn’t know how to get where I was going or how to let my appointment know I might not make it there.

I stopped at a fast food restaurant in a poor part of town and walked up to a mother and her teen daughter.

“I’m sorry, but is it possible for me to look up a number on your phone and then call the place and let them know I’m lost?” She handed me her phone and then told me I was lucky she had her phone, for it was getting ready to be off because she didn’t have enough money to pay the phone bill. The young girl and the mother didn't pay me much attention when I made a call. The appointment told me how to get there by another road.

Before I left, suddenly, I reached into my wallet where I don’t usually have cash and pulled out all I had a $20 bill. I gave it into the mother’s hand and then turned to leave quickly. I heard her daughter calling after me, “Thanks, sir. You have no idea how you just helped us.” What’s more, they really helped me.

22、   For ten weeks, in a great house on the island of St Thomas, John C. Lilly tried to teach a six-year-old dolphin to speak English. Margaret Howe, an experiment(试验) helper, would live day and night with Peter, a dolphin. And they would eat, bathe, sleep and play together from Sunday to Friday, with only Saturdays off for Margaret. She lived her life in swimming clothes — with a coat on colder evenings — and cut her hair short so that she could get on with Peter more easily. 

After a few days, Peter was becoming more and more interested in winning her attentions. He threw a ball against her shower towel to get her to play. As time went by, he only wanted to play ball with her and not on his own. 

The problem was that, just at the time Peter and Margaret began to get on well just as two best friends, the experiment ended and the lab was closed. After a few weeks, Margaret received the sad news that Peter had killed himself by refusing to breathe, and sinking to the bottom of his pool.
