An old man with his pale blue eyes and a smile walked slowly into the restaurant.His old cloth jaket and warm personality made him stand out from the usual Saturday morning breakfast people.

A young waitress named Mary watched him walk toward a table by the window.She ran over to him and said, “Here,Sir.Let me give you a hand with that chair.”In a soft, clear voice he said, “Thank you for your kindness.”“You’re welcome,sir.”She replied. “And my name is Mary.I’ll be back in a moment,and if you need anything,just wave me!”

After he had finished a big meal,Mary helped him up from his chair,and out from behind the table.She helped him walk to the front door.Holding the door open for him,she said, “Come back and see us,sir!”He turned with his whole body,smiled and nodded a thank you.

       Tracy sat at the kitchen table daydreaming. She was thinking about the used bike she planned to buy. She was making a list of things she wanted to do to fix up the bike. On her list, Tracy had written new seat, paint, and bell. Then she thought, “I want to make sure drivers see me on my bike. I’ll add reflectors （反光镜）to my list.”

       Tracy’s dad walked into the kitchen. “What are you doing?” he asked.

       “Oh, I’m just thinking about the bike I want to buy”, Tracy said. “I had hoped to earn enough on my paper route the first week to buy it, but I only made fifteen dollars. I hope the bike is still there after I get paid next week.”

       “Well, if you would like to earn the money tomorrow, you can help me,” Tracy’s dad said.

       “Doing what?” Tracy asked eagerly.

       “I’m washing windows in the morning,” her dad said. “I could use five dollars’ worth of help.”

       Even though it was a Saturday, Tracy got up quite early. She washed the inside of all of the windows. By twelve o’clock, she finished and had the money in her hand. Just as she was ready to leave, her mom called to her, “Tracy, did you make your bed?” Tracy rushed to her bedroom and made her bed. Finally, she headed for the door. She raced down the street to where the bike was for sale. Luckily, It was still there. The owner noticed Tracy looking at the bike. “Would you like to buy it?” asked the owner.

       “I sure would! I have twenty dollars,” Tracy answered, pulling the money out of her pocket.
