When I returned, we talked a bit．He said he was not allowed inside   46  he purchased food．I went back and told my family his   47 . Then I asked our waitress to add one soup and sandwich．The kids looked   48  as we had already eaten, but when I said the order was for the "doorman" , they smiled．When it was time to   49  our trip, I noticed the "doorman" enjoying his meal．Upon seeing me, he stood up and thanked me heartily．He then   50  his hand for a handshake and I gratefully accepted．I suddenly noticed the tears in his eyes—tears of  51  .  What happened next drew great astonishment: I gave the " doorman" a   52  !
