The Homeless Hero
For many, finding an unattended wallet filled with ￡400 in cash would be a source of temptation(诱惑). But the 1 would no doubt be greater if you were living on the streets with little food and money. All of this makes the actions of the homeless Tom Smith 2 more remarkable.
After spotting a 3 on the front seat inside a parked car with its window down, he stood guard in the rain for about two hours waiting for the 4 to return.
After hours in the cold and wet, he 5 inside and pulled the wallet out hoping to find some ID so he could contact(联系) the driver, only to 6 it contained￡400 in notes, with another￡50 in spare change beside it.
He then took the wallet to a nearby police station after 7 a note behind to let the owner know it was safe. When the car’s owner John Anderson and his colleague Carol Lawrence returned to the car— which was itself worth ￡35,000— in Glasgow city centre, they were 8 to find two policemen standing next to it. The policemen told them what Mr. Smith did and that the wallet was 9 .
The pair were later able to thank Mr. Smith for his 10 .
Mr. Anderson said: “I couldn’t believe that the guy never took a penny. To think he is sleeping on the streets tonight 11 he could have stolen the money and paid for a place to stay in. This guy has nothing and 12 he didn’t take the wallet for himself; he thought about others 13 . It’s unbelievable. It just proves there are 14 guys out there.”
Mr. Smith’s act 15 much of the public’s attention. He also won praise from social media users after Mr. Anderson 16 about the act of kindness on Facebook.

People have been approaching him in the street; he’s had job 19 and all sorts,” Mr. Anderson commented.
