Damon Mootoo was staying at his brother’s house in New York, when he decided to go for a walk last Wednesday, 12 hours after arriving in New York for the first time. The 32-year-old man quickly got puzzled by the confusing streets of New York. On Sunday night, after a good person came to his aid, he was recovering at a hospital. Mootoo, who is hard of hearing but can communicate in English, said he didn’t ask for directions because he was afraid he’d be driven away because he had heard many frightening stories about New York. He had recently received his permanent(永久的) citizen card. The helper as well as his wife was walking home from church when he noticed Mootoo shaking on the street. After they made him a sandwich, Mootoo opened up and told them his story. Luckily, Moootoo found a piece of paper with his brother’s address in his pocket, and the helper droved him there. He was in need, and within a couple more hours he would have been a dead man. Mootoo had begged for water, but was too ashamed and shy to ask for food or directions, his worried brother said, who had spread papers with Mootoo’s photo all over New York. He slept in an abandoned(废弃的) car or looked for shelter under a piece of wood in a stranger’s yard. Temperature drooped into -20℃ on some nights. 1.
