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.
