Earlier this week I was at a store after the holiday season, and while waiting in line I 　31　 a very stressed out Dad with his two sons waiting in line to purchase a car seat for the younger child.

The father was asking if he could buy the display model because it would be 　 32　 than the others. The cashier 　33　 that he could buy the display model 　 34 that there was no box for it. He said that was just 　 35 with him.

Then he asked if there were any additional coupons（优惠券）to bring the 　36 down just a little bit more. The cashier was doing her best to 　37 some additional savings coupons for this young father; but wasn't 　38 much of anything in her drawer.

I used to be a people-watcher, but found that as I 　39 this activity for about five minutes I was beyond 　40 to help -- and I had no idea why, but before I could really think about it I found myself digging through my 　41 for the 10 to 15 dollars in coupons I knew I had.

But I found nothing. I gave him $20 cash. The father said he couldn’t 　42 it, but appreciated my offer. The cashier was 　43 in the same mode as I was in wanting to help this young family; and took the money toward his 　44 with a smile on her face - the seat 　45 coming to around $50 instead of the original $90+.

As the Dad collected his small children and began to 　46 he looked at me and said, " You really shouldn't have done that but I thank you so much -- you just made certain that we will all get to eat today."

My reply was simple. Be 　47 or years from now, simply do the same or something extra for someone else you don't know; and that would 　48 me tenfold（十倍地）.

What really got to me out of this whole experience is that it made me realize a small thing can have a huge 　49 in the long run; as long as the chain isn't 　50 .
