Question

【题目】 This past holiday season, I drove with my parents to Boston to visit my cousin. On my way back home, we stopped at a service area for food.

As we stopped there, there was this old lady who was busy cleaning all the tables and chairs as people were leaving, making sure everything was tidy and clean. I just thought of gifting her with five dollars and a chocolate in my pocket. I wrote on a paper napkin(纸巾): Thank you and Merry Christmas.”

I had wanted to leave it there for her but decided to walk up to her and give her.

She asked me, "Is it a gift? Only then will I take it.”

I nodded, “Yes,” and smiled at her.

“Thank you, young man. "she replied, and I left to buy some food from the store inside. On my way back to the car, the woman stopped me.

“I made a lot of cookies and candies on Christmas for people, "she explained. “Would you like to have some?”

A bit taken aback, I replied, “Yes”.

She asked me to wait, and came back carrying a four- inch plate filled with different cookies and chocolates! My first expression was a big smile.

“That's a lot,” I said, a bit surprised.

She smiled and told me that she made eighty to ninety of these plates every year, to gift to friends and others.

I had no words or thoughts in my brain. Finally, I asked if I could hug her. We hugged, wishing each other a happy and healthy holiday season. Then, as we parted, I felt as if I had met a new friend with whom I exchanged the gift of a smile and some happiness. I really enjoyed this trip.
