Every day when I worked there, I found a boy of i3 or 14 sitting on the stair outside the store for minutes. I didn't know why he did this.
"Do you like herbal smell?" I asked him one day.
"I 2 with this kind of smell," he said. He told me that his mother 3 for years, so he could mix herbs for his mother when he was very young. He mixed herbs4 , hoping his mother would get better as soon as possible.
"Is your mother well now?" I asked. He shook his head, "My mother died three months ago." Looking up into the sky, he said, "When I first walked past and smelled the herbs, I thought of 5 and those days when she was alive. That's the reason why I come here every day and sit for minutes."
