It’s a small gas station that has snacks, drinks, cigarettes, and candies. The young man behind the counter knows his   1   by name and what they normally want to buy. He treats children and adults with equal   2  . He reads science fiction behind the counter when business is   3  .

One day, three people rushed in and grabbed food off the shelves as fast as they could,   4   not intending to pay for it. He hit the “panic button” and then went over the counter and   5   the front door. It was obvious they were homeless, and equally obvious that they weren’t going   6  with their ill – gotten gains. They   7   the food and simply crowded together in panic – knowing the policed were   8   the way.

They were told to   12   what they had dropped and put it back, then asked to straighten out the mess. They were doing just that   13   the police arrived. The officers were told the situation was under control and the police were no longer   14  .

This wasn’t what they had   15  . They were being treated as human beings who could right the wrong they’d done. Shocked, they quickly followed orders to take turns and use the restroom to clean up.

Soon three   16   people walked out with all the   17  their arms could hold. They wee   18   that, if they needed to come back again, they were to ask and not just grab.

And then the young man went back to reading until the next customer came in. He would be the   19  person in the world to claim he was a hero. But he gave three people something they were in desperate need of – a   20   amount of self – respect and a little bit of hope.
