She is only nine years old. I picked her up from school and went to the supermarket for a few things. I was hoping to be in and out quickly. I found a short line with just one person ahead(在……前面 ) of me. It was an elderly woman, and she was paying for her things with only change(零錢(qián) ). It took a long time. After a whole day at work, I began to lose patience. But then I watched the young clerk(職員 ). He helped her count her change, ever so tenderly(體貼地 ) taking it from her shaking hands. I listened to him repeatedly say to her, “Yes, madam.” When she asked the clerk if she had enough money to buy a bag, he told her she did. Then he went two lines over to get one for her. Never once did this clerk get annoyed(生氣的 ) or roll(滾動(dòng) ) his eyes. He was patient and kind. As I was watching him, I saw Eloise was, too. I realized that my daughter was learning an important lesson from a plete stranger. After the woman was finished, the clerk began ringing up my things and thanked me for my patience. I thanked him, too. I found the manager and told him about the clerk’s kindness and patience. Then we left the supermarket with a full cart(手推車(chē) ), but also with a heart full of thankfulness for such an important lesson.
