Several days ago, I was walking home from school and saw some writing on the fence of a house. It said, “Happiness is a(an) ______ not a place.” I was having a bad day but it became a little ______ after reading this. I also took out a pen and wrote one of my favorite quotes(格言) down without thinking twice.

When I came back to the ______ the next day, I saw another quote under mine in the handwriting as the first one. I added another, so we kept on ______ for quite a while. One day, I was writing another quote on the fence and the old man, one of my neighbors, who ______ the fence, saw me. He came out and I was afraid he would be ______ for writing on his fence; everyone in my neighborhood knew he was known to be very unfriendly. He gave me a look of coldness and seriousness and then read the quotes. ______ saying a word to me, he then went back inside. I was even uneasier and afraid to go back to the fence. But when I did, I noticed no more quotes but two words in completely different handwriting had been added, “______.”

Later, I saw the old man in his front yard. He called me over and told me how my quotes on the fence ______ him, how he thanked me and how he was glad to see young people still have “Values”. We are now good friends and I talk to him a lot. This experience has ______ my life. I still don’t know who wrote these quotes, but if he is out there, I’d like to say “thanks” to that unknown friend.
