阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
John and Mary, a retired English couple, were spending their summer visiting Cape Cod, an attractive seaside scenic spot just two hours’ drive from Boston. Their daughter, who lived in Salem close to Boston, had dropped them off early that morning, and insisted that she would pick them up in the evening. John, known for his sharp memory and sense of direction, comforted Mary that they would have no trouble finding their way home, and refused their daughter’s offer.
As time went by, they were fascinated by the charm of Cape Cod, its old-fashioned streets, and the relaxing sound of the waves, and the couple lost themselves in the beauty of their surroundings. The sky was a brilliant blue, the air fresh with the scent of saltwater, and the sun bathed everything in a golden shine. John and Mary wandered along the beach, picking up seashells and taking in the view.
Yet, with the afternoon wearing on, they noticed dark clouds gathering on the horizon. Before the clouds thickened, John and Mary decided it was time to head back to Boston.
They boarded the bus with a few other tourists. At six o’clock, they reached what John believed to be the stop closest to the train station. He confidently led Mary off the bus, certain that they were just a short walk away from their connection to Salem.
However, as they walked through the nearly empty streets, it became clear that something was wrong. The station was nowhere in sight. Finally, the storm came. The whole town was dark except a cafe with light on. Having approached it, they found it was closed.
To make matters worse, when they finally decided to check their phone for directions, they discovered that the battery was dead. This hit them hard, and their earlier confidence turned into frustration and worry. Mary looked at John, her concern mirrored in his eyes, as they stood on the weakly lit sidewalk, unsure of what to do next.

文章大意
退休的英国夫妇约翰和玛丽在科德角（Cape Cod）游玩，他们拒绝了住在波士顿附近塞勒姆（Salem）的女儿接送，自信能找到回家的路。他们沉醉于科德角的美景，直到下午乌云密布才决定返程。他们乘坐巴士，约翰自信地在他认为离火车站近的站点下车，然而却找不到火车站。此时暴风雨来临，手机没电，咖啡馆关门，他们陷入了困境，就在绝望之时，一位年轻人出现了。
故事山分析
开端：约翰和玛丽在女儿送他们到科德角后，开始享受这里的美景。
发展：下午乌云出现，他们决定返程，在约翰认为的离火车站近的站点下车，却找不到火车站。
高潮：暴风雨来临，手机没电，咖啡馆关门，他们陷入绝望。
结局（待续写）：年轻人出现，帮助他们解决困难，成功回家。
伏笔以及在续写中的回应
约翰的自信：开头约翰自信能找到回家的路，与后文迷路形成对比，续写中可通过约翰的态度转变来回应，比如从自信变得尴尬和感激。
女儿的接送提议：女儿坚持接送被拒，续写中可提及如果当时接受可能不会有此困境，也可在最后表达对年轻人帮助的感激，如同得到了家人般的帮助。
乌云出现：预示着后续不好的事情发生，续写中暴风雨来临就是对此的回应，而年轻人的出现则是在这糟糕情况下的转机。
手机没电：导致他们无法查路线，续写中年轻人可能会用自己的手机或其他方式帮助他们解决路线和买票问题。
几乎空无一人的街道和关闭的咖啡馆：体现他们孤立无援的处境，续写中年轻人的出现打破这种困境。
续写要点（两段）
第一段：着重描写年轻人的外貌、神态和语言，展现他的友善和热心。描述年轻人了解情况后的反应，比如他是如何安慰约翰和玛丽，以及他提出的初步帮助方案，如帮忙找火车站或提供手机查询路线。
第二段：描写买票机器故障时众人的反应，突出年轻人的果断和善良，他用信用卡为约翰和玛丽买票。最后描述约翰和玛丽的感激之情，以及他们顺利回家后的感受。

A small act of kindness from a stranger can light up the darkest of times and turn despair into hope. 陌生人一个小小的善举就能照亮最黑暗的时刻，把绝望变成希望。

Just as they were beginning to lose hope, a young man approached them. He seemed to sense their suffering and offered a warm smile, asking if they needed any help. After hearing their situation, he comforted them that they were close to the station and offered to walk them there. His calm and comforting presence provided a much-needed comfort, and John and Mary felt a wave of relief wash over them as they followed him. However, upon reaching the station, they were met with another problem — the ticket machine was broken, and their coins simply fell through without issuing a ticket.
The machine failing, the young man took out his credit card to purchase their tickets. Despite their attempts to repay him, he simply smiled and waved off their offer. He even made sure they were safely on the platform before wishing them a good journey. As the train doors closed, John and Mary watched him wave goodbye, deeply moved by the stranger’s generosity. That evening, as they narrated/told the story to their daughter, they couldn’t help but marvel at the unexpected kindness that had turned their troubling experience into a reminder of the goodness in people.
