So tired as I was, I bothered myself to open up my cafe shop on the cold morning. With many consumers streaming in, I knew another long business day began. And I had to serve far into the night.
As I rushed among the tables, suddenly, a
asked if I could mind a child. I was quite
but I could tell the man was quite desperate(绝望的). So I had to make a
with him that if he wanted his son to stay and wait for him, he had to
something in the shop.
This was quite
for the man to do; I could
he was quite poor by the
he was dressed. It looked as if he had tried to come in his
clothes. But they still looked a bit old and worn out
he had often worn them, just to make himself look best. Looking down I could see his
were also a bit shabby(破旧的)and the heels(鞋后跟)were in a terrible state. I thought he was going for a job interview. In the end he bought a small box of
for his little son and seated him down in the corner. I could tell the boy was feeling down and only could
with a bit of cheering up.
Seeing that the kid sat there for quite a while, I was a bit
as the poor little kid was sitting
his own. People watched him and some kids even came over to pick on him. I was
to see one of them even knocked his cookies off the table. He quickly went and got them back without saying a word. I was hoping his father would
up and come back for his son's
.
At closing time, the only person left was the little boy. After a while, the father finally came in with a tiresome look. I
he didn't get any job. As they were leaving, I offered the kid a little cake, but the man rejected(拒绝)it. I
he felt as if I had just abused(虐待)him. Of course I didn't mean to. But I could understand why he felt like that. I only wished them good
whatever happened.
The man opened the door to leave — father and son hand in hand.
