My wife, Nell, and I wanted to rent a car in Florida’s Tampa airport. When asked how I was going to pay, I opened my purse to get my credit card (信用卡). It wasn’t there!

Nell and I looked at each other in shocked silence. Then, from the line behind us, a voice asked, “How much do you need?” When I said we would need $300 to get us through our first week, the kind man gave us the needed money. We discovered he and his wife were returning home to Toronto a couple of weeks later on the same flight as we were, so we made sure to see them to return the money and give them a gift to thank them.

I later found out I had left my card at a garage (加油站) in Toronto a week before our vacation. When I called the garage, they actually sent the card to us where it arrived safely just a few days later.
