It’s a small gas station that has snacks, drinks, cigarettes, and candies. The young man behind the counter knows his 41 by name and what they usually want to buy. He treats children and adults with equal 42 . He reads science fiction behind the counter when business is 43 .
One day, three people rushed in and grabbed food off the shelves as fast as they could, 44 not planning to pay for it. He hit the “panic button”, then went over the counter and 45 the front door. It was obvious they were homeless, and equally obvious that they weren’t going 46 with the food. They 47 the food and simply crowded together in panic— knowing the police were 48 the way.
Imagine what they must have felt like when they were told they didn’t have to steal if they were that 49 . “We have food in the back, expired (到期) but still 50 to eat. If you need food, you 51 have some.”
They were told to 52 what they had dropped and put it back, and then asked to sort out the mess. They were doing just that 53 the police arrived. The officers were told the situation was under control and the police were no longer 54 .
This wasn’t what they had 55 . They were being treated as human beings who could right the wrong they’d done. Shocked, they quickly followed orders to take turns and use the restroom to clean up themselves.
Soon three 56 people walked out with all the 57 their arms could hold. They were 58 that, if they needed to come back again, they were to ask and not just grab.
And then the young man went back to read until the next customer came in. He would be the 59 person in the world to say he was a hero. But he gave three people something they were badly in need of —--- a 60 amount of self-respect and a little bit of hope.
