英语美文:我花了20美元,让世界变得更好了
I Paid For A Young Woman's Groceries I was in line at Trader Joe's and the young woman in front of me had her card declined, she embarrassedly handed the cashier another card, which was also declined and then a final card that was approved for just $5.47. She asked the cashier to cancel the transaction. The cashier motions for manager. I smile and offer to pay the balance, which was $20 something dollars. The woman was very thankful, the cashier was happy. On my way out the manager handed me a bouquet of mixed flowers. He didn't say anything, just held the flowers out to me. I saw he was overcomed with emotion. I suspected that if he opened his mouth he would start to cry. I accepted the flowers with thanks and walked out feeling that, for just a few moments, the world had become a better place. |
