Question

A Tomato Fairy

A few years ago, I was working a part-time summer job at a local _______ shop. While handing a hot fudge sundae to an old woman at the drive-thru window, I noticed that she had a box of purple _______.

As I handed her the sundae, I said, “Those tomatoes look so special! What kind are they?"

She grinned（露齿而笑）and replied, “Here, have some!”, Within _______, I had a handful of purple tomatoes.

“Oh, no, you don’t need to give me any!" I said. "They're purple! They must be very _______.

“Here, have more," she _______ and now I had six of the prettiest tomatoes I had ever seen. I weakly tried to _______, "Really you didn't have to give me any but thank you a lot."

The woman smiled again and said, "I hope you enjoy_______. And to answer your question, it’s very 'expensive' because it’s an heirloom（祖传）type that my mom used to _______.

I said thank you again, and she sped off. She was like a tooth fairy: I _______ her ice cream and she gave me tomatoes.

About two weeks later, my boss at the ice cream store sent me a text ________. "I want to let you know that your gardener dropped off a box of vegetables for you.” Baffled （困惑不解）,I replied, “ ________?”

That night, my boss showed me the ________. It was full of carrots, beans, potatoes and tomatoes — purple tomatoes. ________ was back!

I never saw her again, but to this day her ________ inspires（激励）me to share what I have with anyone who’ll have it.

All I ask is an ice cream cone ________. Better yet, pay it forward and be someone else's secret gardener.
