It was late, about 10:15 p.m., when Janice Esposito arrived at the Bellport train station; she jumped into her Honda Odyssey and began the 20-minute drive home to her husband and seven-year-old son. She’d just returned from visiting her mother and had traveled the route many times before. She practically 11 on autopilot: a left onto Station Road, then a left on Montauk Highway, and then—wham! Out of nowhere a car T-boned Esposito’s minivan, 12 her to move backward some 100 feet onto the railroad tracks. She 13 in the minivan, bruised ( 撞 伤 ) but mostly just knocked out by the 14 and the airbags.
As it happened, Pete DiPinto was getting ready for 15 . He’d just closed his book and was getting under the covers when he heard the sound of metal on metal and breaking glass coming from not far outside his bedroom window. A volunteer 16 and retired teacher, DiPinto, , never 17 to think. He grabbed a flashlight and, still dressed in his pajamas (睡衣), ran out the door. “Any firefighter would have done what I did,” he told Newsday. “We’re always on 18 .”
The first car he came upon, 2,000 feet from his front yard, was the one that had 19_ Esposito. Once DiPinto concluded the driver was OK, he looked around and 20 Esposito’s minivan positioned on the railroad tracks. And then he heard a terrible sound: the bells signaling an oncoming 21 .
“The gates were starting to come down,” he told Newsday. “I see the headlight of the train.” DiPinto ran quickly to Esposito’s minivan and knocked on the driver’s side window. She 22 looked at him, her eyes unfocused. “I don’t know where I am,” she said. She seemed unhurt. “Honey, you’re on the railroad 23 ,” DiPinto shouted. “We have to get you off right now!” He pulled hard on the 24 , but the door was crashed in and 25 . The heavy diesel train, traveling at 65 miles per hour, was moving fast toward them. DiPinto ran to the passenger side and threw open the 26 . “Please, don’t let her be 27 ,” he thought. He pushed aside the deflating ( 瘪 了 的 ) airbags, grabbed Esposito’s arms, and 28 her toward him across the passenger seat until he could help her out and quickly get her to 29 behind a signal box a few feet away. Within six seconds, he estimated, the train crashed into the minivan. “It was like a Hollywood movie,” DiPinto told reporters the next day.
But this one had a twist. “Last night,” South Country Ambulance chief Greg Miglino told
CBS New York, “the 30___ arrived in pajamas, not in a fire truck.

I'm Robin Woods. I'm always the first to make a good joke and 11___ my work away at the end of the day. But somehow I'm 12___ the first to be picked for teams and plays. I have always been the outcast, 13___ and alone.
“This year our play will be the story of Robin Hood and his Merry Men,” our teacher, Miss Goody, 14___ the whole class. “Who would like to be Robin Hood?” I 15___ my hand up into the air. Of course everybody wanted the biggest and best part, especially bossy Bradley.
“ 16____ for a part and I’ll test you on Monday and decide who will be best for each part,” said Miss Goody, handing out pages of the script. “… And of course we’ll need lots of trees to be the forest.”
“You’ll be a little baby bush…,” Bradley 17___ me. “Or a teeny-tiny leaf.”
I 18___ him and took a copy of the Robin Hood words and began my practicing on the way home.
On Monday I did some brilliant acting and I remembered all my 19 . I got the part. Bradley got the part of Little John. Becky was one of the ladies-in-waiting. Jordan was the minstrel(吟游艺人), who told the 20___ in song with a little strum of the guitar every now and then.
We had three weeks to learn our parts. Becky offered to 21__ with me. She played Little John's part and gave me 22___ on fighting. Bradley, who still really wanted to be Robin Hood, often came over to watch. He seemed to be waiting for me to make mistakes. I felt 23___ , with knocking knees and cold feet. But I was determined to be the best Robin Hood ever. I had got the part of a hero and a hero I shall be.
At home, Granddad came to help me. He could play the guitar and even made up a minstrel dance. He was really getting into the minstrel’s 24 , which cheered me up and made learning my part much easier and funny.
In the final dress rehearsal that afternoon, Bradley was really getting carried away in that fighting-to-get-across-the-river 25 ___. He was shouting louder and louder and pushing harder and harder until he lost his 26__ and fell off the bridge. He had hurt his ankle! Worse still, Jordan had got a flu. Probably we had to 27___ that night’s performance for it was just impossible to find two new actors who could learn the parts before 28 and, most importantly, could play the guitar. Girls wailed and sobbed. Boys sighed and shuffled their feet.
It was I that put forward a 29 :Granddad could play the part of the minstrel, Becky did the part of Little John and Carly could have her part as lady-in-waiting. Miss Goody sighed with relief. Everybody burst into tears of joy.
The performance that night was a great success. I felt like a 30 .

I still tear up in amazement at the display of love and 28 the dog had for me that day all those years ago. I 29 to be a vet technician for 14 years, and since retirement, I’ve volunteered at a no-kill animal shelter.
