（A）
Seven weeks into my trip in Europe, I arrived in Paris. I had been on a night bus from London for many hours（there had been an accident and the traffic delayed our arrival time）. Unfortunately for me, I cannot sleep sitting up, so 1 was tired out. My difficulty increased when we arrived at the bus station. Day hadn’t broken and my clothes felt slightly wet by raindrops. How I wanted to take a bath in warm water but the bathrooms required French Francs. Obviously I didn’t have any and ATMs don’t spit out coins。so I had no way out.
Determined to quickly find a hostel, I set out. No hostels near the bus station this time. I made my way to the Metro（subway system in Pairs）. I was completely brain dead at this point and my years of high school and college French classes had deserted me. I stood staring at the board showing the Metro routes. I had no idea how to get to my hostel.
I must have looked very pathetic（可怜的）and sad, standing there with my heavy backpack on and stating blankly at the Metro board without understanding. Just then, thank God, a kind French businessman came up to me and asked me in English if he could help me. Obviously, I was not familiar with the locals at this point（backpack marks you as a tourist）. He not only found a hostel for me but also helped me buy some Metro tickets and wrote 0ut in English the route I should take on the Metro to get to the hostel. My savior!
I thanked him, and a thank you was all I could give him for his kindness at that time.
