One morning I was on my way home and was very 1 after working 12 hours at night.I 2 at a restaurant to have 3 .It was really a truck stop and I was the only customer.
Right after I placed my order I saw a man come in.He was 4 a small bag.Perhaps he had seen better times,but there was no sign of any 5 times now.He reached in his pocket and 6 some change.He asked the waitress if 38 cents was 7 to buy a cup of coffee.She looked at his hand and said,"Of course.Have a 8 ." (Coffee was 50 cents a cup at the time.) It really 9 me how she had tried to help him to 10 his pride and how he had not asked for any charity.
Shortly before my food came,I 11 the waitress to come over.I said,"You know,I am not feeling well.I don't 12 I am going to be able to eat my breakfast.Do you think there is anyone here who might eat it?" She first asked 13 I was OK and then she understood.She said,"I think so.Are you sure?" I told her that I was 14 .
She then walked over to the gentleman and told him that I had 15 food and it was too 16 to stop the order but I didn't feel like eating.She asked if he would be so 17 as to take it so that they wouldn't have to 18 it in the dustbin.I walked to 19 the meal,bought a gift card and asked them to 20 it to the gentleman after I left.
This man's quiet dignity (尊严) touched me in ways that I don't even fully understand.
