It was nine on a cold winter night.I hurried to go home from work on my motorbike.
At the last crossing,while I(1)
was waiting

for the green light,I saw an old man walking toward me.He stopped me and I felt a little nervous.The old man said slowly,"Excuse me.Could you please help me?"I looked at(2)

up and down.He looked about 70 years old.
The old man took out a 10-yuan bill and said to me,"You see the old lady over there?She is selling baked(烤)sweet potatoes.Could you just take the money and buy one from her?"He pointed at an old lady(3)

was selling something about fifty meters away in the corner.
"But why don't you go and buy it yourself ?"I was(4)

"That old lady is my wife and it's her first day to sell baked sweet potatoes.Just now I called her.She told me that there was only one sweet potato(6)
