“Actually, you are a talented and competent young man. But I’m sorry to tell you, John. You don’t pass the interview. Taking your degree and working experience into account, you are not adequate for this job.” The interviewer said. Hearing these words, the tall, well-groomed man sank even deeper into his chair and stared blankly at a spot on the wall ahead of him. Nobody knew how disappointed he was! After a while, when he calmed down gradually, he straightened up his back quickly and made his black suit unfolded. “I am the best! I did a good job just now!” He told himself.
On his way home, the sky was full of black clouds. Soon it began to rain heavily, so he had to rush home in the rain. As John got home, pulling out his keys and opened the door, he found a man crouching(蹲下) in the corner of the yard. He came closer and looked at the man carefully. The man was an old man with wrinkled face and a sad expression. He wore a brown coat which was ragged and full of holes and his shoes were torn. With one hand he leant on a rough stick, while with the other he held out his battered hat for money. John thought him as a beggar in the beginning. Later, the old man rolled painfully as John approached.
“What's wrong with you?” John inquired.
“Nothing, some naughty guys teased and hit me just now.” The old man looked at John and reached out his hands, “could you do me a favor?” John helped the old man up, and asked, “where do you live?”

“Er...”he hesitated, “I have no home, no friends and no relatives.”
“I am sorry to hear that, but how about living with me if you don't mind my simple house?” John tried to invite the old man to live with him.
“Thank you. It’s very kind of you. I hope God bless you.” The old man smiled and hid John’s wallet in his sleeves quickly. 注意：1. 所需写短文的词数应为150左右；
