Question

Just off La Rambla Street in Barcelona, I skimmed through The Saints (圣人) of Spain in a bookstore. It would be a good read for the     home. At that moment, I couldn’t help thinking of my own personal saint, the angel who’d     my trip.

It was the first time for me to travel abroad and I called it a “spiritual journey”. I hadn’t           a hotel before setting out     I thought I could find a cheap one when I arrived.         ,  it turned out to be a(n)         .

I supposed maybe he         the worried look on my face.

Now , at the     , I felt a tap (轻拍) on my shoulder. It was him ! So he was     . “I want to thank you. What’s your name ? ” I said.

“Raphael,” he said. “You’re very welcome.” With that, he went away into the crowd on La Rambla. “He was not an angel but just a kind        ,” I thought.

On the planet, I turned to a page in The Saints of Spain by chance. “Raphael,” it read, “is known as the supporter of travellers. He helps guide spiritual journeys.” Yes, he does.
