On a trip to California, my family stopped for lunch. As we walked toward the entrance to the restaurant, a man with messy and dirty hair opened the door for us and greeted us in a friendly way.

    Once inside, my daughters whispered, “Mum, he _________.” After we ordered our lunch, I told the kids to look _________ the appearance. The day I became a mother, I had decided to set a good example for my children. Sometimes when things didn’t go right, being a good example was hard. When our meal arrived, I realized I had left the car-sick pills in the truck. With the windiest(蜿蜒的) trip ahead, the _________ needed them, so I went for them.

    Just then, the “doorman” was opening the door for a couple. They rushed past him without even looking at him. Letting them in first, I said a loud “thank you” to him as I was drawing near.

    When I returned, we talked a bit. He said he was not allowed inside _________ he bought food. I went back and told my family his _________. Then I asked our waitress to add one soup and sandwich. The kids looked at me _________ as we had already eaten. When I said the order was for the “doorman”, they smiled. When it was time to _________ our trip, I noticed the “doorman” enjoying his meal. Upon seeing me, he stood up and thanked me heartily. He then _________ his hand for a handshake and I gratefully _________. I suddenly noticed the tears in his eyes.
