Mary was waiting for the airplane to take off.. She was happy to get a seat by herself. Just then,an air hostess came up to her and asked. “Would you mind changing your seat? A man would like to sit with his wife.” The only available seat(空座)was next to a girl with her arms broke,a black-and-blue face, and a sad expression. "I don't want to sit there," Mary thought immediately. But a soft voice spoke, “She needs help.” Finally, Mary moved to that seat.

Mary considered offering to feed her but hesitated, it seemed too impolite to offer a service to a stranger. But then Mary realized that Emily's need was more important. Mary offered to help her eat. Although Emily was uncomfortable to accept,she agreed. They became closer and closer in a short time. By the end of the five-hour trip, Mary's heart had warmed, and the time was really better spent than if she had just sat by herself.
