Guardian On The Road 05

We drove home then finding it easy to find the freeway and talking about this strange happening all the way home. Amazingly not even thinking of our situation of fuel. We made it all the way home and in the front of our house my mom opened up the paper this woman had put into her hands. To her amazement it was 5 one hundred dollar bills! She just started crying. She said she could not take this and that in the light of day she would take this back to the woman. I agreed and felt so shamed that I was thinking this woman was going to try to hurt us. When we got inside the house everyone was in an uproar. There had been a terrible accident on the road we normally went home on. Many cars piled up and many fatalities. We were both shocked. I started crying then realizing that we would have been there at just that time had we not been approached by our "Angel". We looked at each other and begin to tell everyone about our experience.

　　The next morning as mom said, we headed out to find that woman’s home to return her "gift". We could not even find the exit this woman had directed us to. We searched for a couple of hours and still could find no inkling as to where we had been the very night before. We were very quiet on the ride home and emotions ran deep. I know that this was truly our "Guardian On The Road". I believe in angels, and someday I believe I will see her again.

　　我们回家的时候发现找高速路很容易。我俩一路上谈论着刚才的怪事。奇怪的是我俩根本就没有想汽油的事情。我们一直开到家，妈妈在屋子前将那女人放在她手里的纸摊开。居然是5张100美元的钞票！妈妈大叫起来，说不能接受这个，第二天白天会把它还给那女人。我同意了，为自己之前怀疑那女人会伤害我们而深感惭愧。我们踏进家门，所有人都异常激动。在我们经常走的那条路上发生了严重的交通事故。许多车追尾，很多人遇难。我们很震惊。我意识到如果不是我们的“天使”降临身边，我们那时也应该在那条路上，便哭了起来。我和妈妈对视一下开始给大家讲我们的遭遇。

　　第二天早上我们按妈妈所说，到那个女人家里去归还她的“礼物”。却连她指给我们的那个高速路的出口都找不到。我们找了几个小时，还是找不到前一晚我们看到的那个路标。回家的路上我和妈妈沉默着陷入沉思。我确信那就是我们的“路边天使”。我相信天使的存在，也相信有一天我还会再见到她。
