籾朕双燕(淫凄基宛才盾裂)

I walked into the grocery store, not really wanting to buy anything. I just wanted to stay there quietly ! the pain of losing my  11 was still too great. And this supermarket held so many sweet  12 . He often came with me, and always bought me yellow roses.

Standing  13 the meat, I searched for the perfect small steak  14 my husband used to love it.  15 a woman came up beside me. I watched as she picked up a large pack of T-bone steaks, dropped them in her basket,  16 , and then put them back. She turned to go and once again  17 for the pack of steaks. She saw me  18 her and she smiled. ^My husband loves T-bone steaks, but they are so expensive. ̄

^My husband  19 away eight days ago, ̄ I told her, and  20 to control the sadness in my voice, ^Buy him the T-bone steaks. And  21 every moment you have together. ̄

22 by my words, she placed the steaks in her basket and walked away  23 . But several minutes later she came towards me again,  24 a package in her arms. She was  25 the brightest smile I had ever seen.

As she  26 , I saw what she held. ^These are for you, ̄ she placed three beautiful yellow roses in my hands. I wanted to tell her what the roses  27 for me, but, unable to speak, only watching her walking away.

Looking down at the roses, I wondered  28 she knew it. Suddenly the answer seemed so  29 . I wasn¨t alone. There were  30 many people caring for me and willing to help me. Just be thankful for what you have and who you are.

  In 1608, an Englishman whose name was Thomas Coryate visited Italy. He liked the country and noted down every interesting thing he found. But there was one thing which he found more interesting than the others. In his diary Thomas wrote, ^When the Italians eat meat, they use small forks. They do not eat with hands because, as they say, people do not always have clean hands. ̄

  Before leaving for England, Thomas Coryate bought a few forks.

  At home Thomas gave a dinner party to show the invention to his friends. When the servants brought the steak, he took out a fork and began to eat like they did in Italy.

  Everybody looked at him in surprise. When he told his friends what it was, they all wanted to take a good look at the strange thing. All his friends said that the Italians were very strange people because the fork was very inconvenient.

  Thomas Coryate tried to prove the opposite. He said it was not nice to eat meat with one's fingers because they were not always clean.

  Everybody got angry at that. Did Mr. Coryate think that people in England always had dirty hands? And weren't the ten fingers we had enough for us?

  Thomas Coryate wanted to show that it was very easy to use the fork. But the first piece of meat he took with the fork fell to the floor. His friends began to laugh and he had to take the fork away.
