and were wearing the same as it was summer. The only problem was that we had to catch an
overnight bus that 17 at midnight for the airport so we could make our early flight to
Honiara. It was cold on the bus! My husband and I were snuggling (使依偎) our children as best we

keep it. I can 24 make another one!”

strangers. That rug was handmade with the colors carefully chosen. Yet its maker parted with it to
keep my family warm for a night. I am forever thankful, not just for the warmth that night, but for
the lifelong reminder (提示) of the goodness of people of people. That rug has warmed my life.
