got what she wanted, she went to the checkout line, but the old man got in front of her, "Pardon me," he
said, "I'm sorry if my staring at you has made you feel uncomfortable, it's just because you look like my
granddaughter, who just died recently (最近). And I miss her very much. " "I'm very sorry," replied the
young woman. "Is there any- thing I can do for you?" "Yes," the old man said.
