This was one the my first trips to abroad. I decided to go to New York - the city of skycrapers and freedom which is familiar to everyone with the abudance of movies and photos that take place on the streets of this city. I had to spend six days in New York in one of the most famous and expensive hotels of the city centre.
When I arrived in the city, there was an amazing weather: in the sky you couldn't see any clouds, the sun was shining brightly illuminating the entire city. It seemed to me that it was one of the most beautiful days in New York. I was going in a cab through the bustling and crowded streets. Soon I arrived at the hotel. I entered a huge room furnished in neoclassical style. The administrator registered me in the hotel, gave me the room keys and wished me a pleasant stay. When I entered the room, I saw that something was lying on the bed. It was a bouquet of flowers. There was a note: "Meet you in Manhattan, next to the cafe...". But who wrote that note? What did that man want from me? All of that was a mystery to me at the time.
The next day I got to Manhattan at the specified address. A few minutes later I saw a tall man dressed in a black leather coat.
- I'm glad to see you here,-he said.
-Who are you?-I asked.
- I am a person who knows everything about you.
-But how? We've never met before.
-No, you're mistaken. We met more than once. I saved your life but you just forgot me,-he replied.
...Suddenly I heard a shrilling sound. I woke up. I realized that it was a dream. The clock showed 10 am.
"Oh, no... I've just missed my plane! Should I get tickets to Paris?" I thought.
It was the last day of my trip to Lissabon. I was supposed to fly to Paris at 7:45.
I turned on my phone and saw several messages:
"I know you missed the plane. I bought you tickets for the next flight. Today you are flying to Lissabon at 1 pm."
"Perhaps you don't remember me. Last time I met you many years ago. Remember how I saved your life when you were a child?"
"I need to see you tonight. Could we meet in Le petit?"
"Please, text me."
It was Dan. He always was an incriedibly generous and unselfifh person. I don't know why I never thanked him for saving my life. Why have I never paid attention to him?
After a while, I sent him a message thanking him for all that he did for me and agreeing to meet him.
...When I was on the plane, I was constantly thinking about everything that happened.
"Never forget a person who has done a good thing from a good heart for you". That was what I learned from my own experience.
