The wonderful man I met in Calgary~~~

Last Thursday, I met a really nice old man whose name is called Bruse(I don't know how to spell his name...). We started to know him is because my friend Megan need a mattress for her new room. However, just as someone reminded, if people want to buy a new double bed, it may cost almost 500 dollars. None of us want to spend that much money. Fortunately, we heard some information from our friends about a person who can send free mattress in order to help international students. We tried to phone him as soon as possible when we got his phone number, and he quickly agreed to find one mattress for Megan! We waited him until Thursday, when we began to worry about that he may not show up, he gave a phone call to us. He mentioned that he had a meeting on each Thursday, and he was able to send us the mattress now. He is awesome because he came to our dorm to wait for us and drove us to our apartment which located in downtown. Mr. Bruse is his name, he is really a enthusiastic person who always worried about what helps we need. We were so lucky to know this kind old man!!
