I went with some partners from my office for dinner in a very popular local restaurant. It was 1 business time and the restaurant was crowded(拥挤的). We2found a table in a corner for three of us.
As soon as we sat down, we heard a crash(碰撞声) when a cleaning boy 3 the floor with all the plates he was carrying. There was 4 and no one was saying or doing anything.
In a flash (马上) I remembered my 5 many years ago. At one time, I 6when I was on business. I had a high fever but luckily was taken care of by two 7 . Then this was my chance to 8 it forward.
I ran to the boy's side 9 , turned him on his back and screamed for someone to 10 a hot drink. Soon people started asking if I was a(n)11 . I said I was not, but I actually had learned some first-aid lessons.
The boy soon opened his eyes, 12 what had happened. And so I 13 him by saying it was OK. He had not eaten anything. I held the warm drink to his mouth till he 14 it and sat with him until he felt OK. By then the 15 had arrived. I asked her to give the boy something to eat. I offered to pay. The manager was kind enough to 16 the payment and agreed to make sure the boy ate before he went home. By the time all this was over, it was getting 17 for my partners. We hadn't 18 anything yet, so we decided to go home.
I slowly walked home, not hungry any more, feeling 19for the opportunity I paid forward the 20 I had received many years ago.
