I was in the queue for the supermarket checkout(付款台) earlier today．All of the checkouts were
36 , and the woman behind me was not happy! Every word that came from her mouth was a(n)
37 ! She wasn’t happy with the number of checkouts
38 ; she wasn’t happy with the amount of shopping some people had in their baskets; she wasn’t happy because this supermarket didn’t have a stand where she
39 scan her own shopping.
I listened to her
40 looking around as I loaded my stuff onto the conveyor belt (传送带)．I didn’t want
41 to do with that kind of attitude, and if ever I’d felt like letting someone go
42 of me, it wouldn’t be such a woman!
But then I
43 back．Standing beside the woman was a five-year-old girl,
44 her granddaughter．The girl’s part of the shopping
45 of some comic books.
I couldn’t
46 it．I pushed my shopping back to the end of the conveyor belt,
47 a space．“After you,” I said to the woman and the girl, and
48 them to a big
49 ．The woman was delighted, and even
50 to complain ---- until she was walking away．
So,
51 bother having helped? It was because that little girl was probably taking in her granny’s complaint like a sponge(海绵)．She was learning how to
52 situations like that by listening to her granny．I’d seen that I could interrupt that complaining, and put a smile and some
53 into the middle of it．
We can all complain; we can all react
54 , but it doesn’t have to be like that．And, even if only for a few
55 , I wanted to leave that little soul with just a glimpse of another way．
