Last month, I had a unpleasant holiday. Having visited the Australian mainland before, I planned to going to the Solomon Islands. With my disappointment, the guide cut my holiday shortly by 2 days. He also sent me to the same places I had visited them the year before. In addition, the holiday I go on included none of the activities mentioned in the travel plan. To make matters bad, I had to share a double room with someone I did not know, despite the fact I had paid for a single room. Last but not least, my luggages arrived a week late because of the delay causes by the travel agency.

A Good Man
It’s a late Saturday afternoon in early March, and I am sweating in search of the only gift my son wants from Los Angeles: a ______ to the homes of the stars such as Brad Pitt and Jet Li.
A cheerful taxi driver says, “No problem. Map sellers are everywhere!” When the taxi stops, a fellow____with a thin folded sheet and says: “Ten dollars.”
Ten dollars! With absolute______, I inform him, “That’s too much.” The map man leaves. I begin walking, certain I’ll find a(an)______star map soon.
I am______. There’s hardly anybody on the street. There don’t seem to be many real stores, just cars and bars. No maps. No stars. Blocks pass. The sun begins to sink. At the edge of West Hollywood, ______ fellow wanders ahead, selling star maps to some teenage girls.
Ten dollars ______. Forget it. My son will ______.
That night, I call my wife. “Did you get one of those maps to the stars? He’s been talking about______ else.”
This______is hard to ignore. It’s late. At all-night markets: no maps. I head back to the hotel. Morning is coming. There will be one last______. After I check out, I take a taxi. But at nine in the morning, map sellers are______to be found.
“You know,” says the driver, “The guys with the maps just ain’t up yet!” He’s right.
“ Forget it. Let’s go to the airport.”
“ Well,” says the driver, “ I could______you one if you like.”
Sure. Trust this guy? I might as well throw cash onto the freeway. But exiting the taxi, I______my last chance. I hand him $13 and my business card. Three weeks pass. I’ve______on the star map. My son has stopped mentioning it.
Then one afternoon, sticking out from under piles of flyers, there it is: a big white envelope. There is a small note. I can hardly read it,______I make out a few phrases—“forgive______,” “taxi’s been down” and, finally, “here’s map for your son.” There’s no return address. It’s signed, “kind regards, M.”
I hold the note in my hand,______what my son said to me when I got back from Los Angeles.
“ Did you meet any______, Dad?” he asked.
Now I know what to tell him.
“ Yes, I did. I met a guy named M.”
If you never ______ anybody, you’ll never find the good guys.
