Question

The “Doorman”

On a trip to California, my family stopped for lunch. As we walked toward the entrance to the restaurant, a man, with a　　beard and dirty hair, jumped up from a bench and opened the door for us. Regardless of his　　, he greeted us in a friendly way.

Once inside, my daughters whispered, “Mom, he　　. ”After we ordered our lunch, I explained, telling the kids to look　　the dirt. We then watched other customers approach the restaurant but many　　him. Seeing this rudeness truly upset me. The day I became a mother, I had resolved to set a good　　to my children. Yet sometimes when things didn’t go right, being a good example was　　. When our meal arrived, I realized I had left the car-sick pills in the truck. With the windiest trip ahead, the kids needed them, so I　　myself from the meal and went to get them.

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

When I returned, we talked a bit. He said he was not allowed inside　　he purchased food. I went back and told my family his　　. Then I asked our waitress to add one soup and sandwich. The kids looked　　as we had already eaten, but 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 accepted. I suddenly noticed the tears in his eyes—tears of　　. What happened next drew great astonishment: I gave the“doorman”a　　. He pulled away, with tears　　down his face.

Back in truck, I fell into deep thought. While we can’t choose many things in life, we can choose when to show gratitude(感恩). I said thanks to a man who had　　help open a door for me, and also said thanks for that　　to teach my children by example.
