A little part of me thought about going to another checkout line.This one had the shortest    ,there was only one guy in it,but he was in a     and there seemed to be some difficulties     

    We stepped in behind him.At first, he       to be having difficulty getting his groceries onto the counter.But after a while,I realized that what he was actually doing was      it into two parts.

     I offered to help,but he and the checkout lady had it under     .He asked Julie if she would mind putting his      basket away.Then he       for his wallet which was in a bag on one side of his chair.The      he was positioned and the fact he only had one usable arm      this troublesome for him,so I helped there.

The checkout operator came around and gave him his      and the goods he needed to have to hand.She      one bag of groceries over a handle at the back of his chair.

    I offered to get the other bigger bag and he said,“No.     you could do me a favor.Take that bag along to the entrance and give it to Angela."

    Angela,it    ,was collecting food for people who might      go hungry! I hadn’t even     her before.

This guy,in spite of the limitations,had bought more than twice as     shopping as he needed—and given the bigger bag away to help     people!

He didn’t let the fact that he needed help      him from being a help.He may have been limited    ,but his heart was more than able to overcome all that.

Frank Woolworth was born in Rodman, New York., in 1852. His family were very poor farmers, and there was never enough to eat. Frank decided he did not want to be farmer. He took a short business course, and went to work as a salesman in a large city.

Woolworth realized he had a natural skill for showing goods to attract people’s interest, but he soon learned something more important. One day his boss told him to sell some odds and ends (小商品) for as much as he could get. Frank put all these things on one table with a sign which said FIVE CENTS EACH. People fought and pushed to buy the things and the table was soon cleared.

Soon afterwards, Woolworth opened his own store, selling goods at five and ten cents. But he had another lesson to learn before he became successful. That is, if you want to make money by selling low-price goods, you have to buy them in large quantities directly form the factories. Once, for example, Woolworth went to Germany and placed an order for knives. The order was so large that the factory had to keep running 24 hours a day for a whole year. In this way, the price of the knives was cut down by half.

By 1919, Woolworth had over 1000 stores in the US and Canada, and opened his first store in London. He made many millions and his name became famous throughout the world. He always run his business according to strict rules, of which the most important was: “ THE CUSTOMER IS ALWAYS RIGHT.”
