So I asked him, “Can I buy you something to eat?”

He ______ accepted. The man got a ______ and began putting sandwiches in the bag. As my ______ were being rung up (结账) I watched the man put the sandwiches into the bag; 1, 2, 3… He finally stopped and I asked him how many he had got and he answered 10.

The ______ cashier (收银员) looked at me for a while and then added them to my ______. After I was through, the man was wandering around the store saying he wanted something to ______, too.
