Every fast-food employee knows that the drive-through window is the worst position. The window sticks with constant ice; the roar of engines hurts your _________; your words are lost in the howling wind.

On a _________ afternoon, everything changed.

Every once in a while, the sub-zero temperatures seal a _________ windows shut. Drivers don’t exactly enjoy having to stand outside in the cold, _________ their orders into a speaker box, when they expect to drive through on their heated leather seats. In such cases, most customers tend to show their annoyance to the employees.

This woman was _________ .

“I’ll get the next car’s _________ as well,” she said as she came up to the window to pay. She stood outside, _________ much snow on her hair. Though she was obviously freezing, her bright _________lit up her face like a fire.

“You can’t _________ their drinks,” I said, confused and tired.

“No, but I’ll buy them,” she said. “Pay it forward and all that.”

Completely puzzled, I charged her as _________ , and when the next customer arrived at the window I explained what had just happened. I watched as his _________ changed — first angry to be out in the cold, then _________ at the random act of kindness, and finally, delighted by his _________ .

“I suppose I’ll pay for the next order then,” he replied, nodding and waving at the impatient driver _________him. He _________ over the cash and received his pre-paid hot drink.

The trend continued. Customers arrived annoyed, only to leave _________ and pleased. Some were shocked to spend much more than they had expected, _________ others ended up receiving their order for less than half the price.

Five vehicles passed, then ten, then twenty. No one refused to pay. Customers stood at my window _________ a fist-full of change to buy drinks for a complete stranger. Cars drove off, honking (鸣笛) and _________ their thanks.
