Last Friday my brother and I were driving

题目内容：

Last Friday my brother and I were driving home and had a fun conversation. So absorbed in our talk, my brother took a wrong turn.

Unfortunately, the wrong turn took us towards a 31, and we had no way to turn 32. __33my brother paid the bridge fee and drove on. He was greatly 34by his mistake and the needless 35of $4.

We eventually reached an exit, and as we took it, my brother noticed a young fellow 36over to the side. He came out of his car and tried to 37someone. I was busy trying to 38which way we would go next, but my brother stopped and asked the guy if he needed any 39And he did. He had a flat tire and needed a tool to get it off.

My brother gave him a wrench（扳手）, and then helped him 40the flat. The young man said that this had been a 41week for him: earlier he had gotten into a minor car 42, and now this tire was flat on his way home from work. But he called us “a breath of fresh air’’ and kept 43us because he really would have been 44if we hadn’t come along.

After we had finished the job, he thanked us again and pulled out $20 to give us. “No,” my brother said. “We were never 45to even get on that bridge. We took a wrong turn. But now we know 46we did. It was to help you. Thank you for turning our mistake into a（n） 47to serve.”

What I loved most was 48my brother throughout this process. He was able to turn his mistake into49energy to help others even in a negative situation, which could only come from a calm mind and an open 50.
