【解析】Last Friday Mr. Black was walking through a supermarket to buy some food. The next day was his daughter’s seventh birthday. He wanted to cook a big dinner for her. The sun was shining, everyone in the supermarket looked happy. Suddenly he found an old lady following him around.

Twenty minutes later, Mr. Black got to the check-out line with some food and was ready to pay for the food. But the old lady got in front of him. “Excuse me,” she said, “I am sorry if my following you has made you feel uncomfortable, it’s just because you look like my son, I haven’t seen him for a long time.”

“Is there anything I can do for you?” replied Mr. Black.

“Yes,” she said, “When I am leaving, can you say‘Goodbye, Mom’? It would make me feel warm.”

“Sure.” answered Mr. Black. So, when the old woman was leaving the supermarket, he said “Goodbye, Mom”.

As he went up to the check-out counter, he saw that he must pay 220 yuan. “How can that be?” he asked, “I only bought some inexpensive food.”

The clerk replied, “Your mother said you would pay for her.”
