17.The Come-back Coffeehouse
The sign in the window read"Carl's Coffee Shoppe,"spelled the old-fashioned way.Hallie shook her head and wondered how many times she had suggested an alternative.She entered the shop and saw only one person.
"I could help with the books,Dad",Hallie offered,"There's not much you could do."Her father signed."How about if you clean the counters instead?"His statement made her feel like a little girl instead of a senior in high school.Hallie sprayed some cleanser and ran a cloth over the worn countertops,After she had washed a few of the old eggshell-colored cups,she began her homework.At closing time,Hallie's parents sat beside her."You know the shop has not been profitable lately,"Mr.Rhodes began."We need to decide if it is even worth keeping it open.""We're going to visit Uncle Harold over spring vacation."Mrs,Rhodes continued."He can look over the books and tell us what our options are.You and Aunt Tess will run the shop for the week."
By spring vacation Hallie was ready for an adventure.Hllie's parents gave some instructions,and said good-bye.Hallie stared absently out the window at the passersby:young people on their way to work,and kids on their school vacation.They were not the same people that her grandpa Carl had served.Suddenly Hallie had an idea.She confided in Aunt Tess,who approved.The two eagerly set to work.
At the end of the week,Hallie was coming out from the kitchen when she saw her parents standing in the shop,confused.She smiled as her parents staredat the teens around the counter and the young families seated at the tables.
"Welcome back!"Hallie swept her arms to present the restaurant'scheerful new decoration.Bright,attractive coverings spread over the tables,and modern posters hung on the walls,while,colorful mismatched dishes contributed to the pleasant atmosphere."
I brought board games from home,"Hallie added excitedly,"and the bookstore down the street donated the posters.When we talked to our friendsabout what we were doing,they were happy to give us some dishes."Hallieheld her breath as she waited for her parents'reaction.
"Everyone certainly seems to like the changes,"noted Mrs.Rhodes.
"Speaking of changes,"Mr.Rhodes said,"I see our name has changed,too."
"Do you mind?I changed our name to'Come-Back Coffeehouse'to make the shop sound welcoming,as in'Please come back again'…"
A smile spread across her father's face."The new name is fitting."Thanks to you,this place certainly has made a comeback!"

12.I stayed for a while in Costa Rica years ago.One morning I was shopping in a local farmers mar-ket.I loved that market.The selection of produce was exceptional!
    I had parked my car a few blocks away at Firestone.An hour into my shopping,I reached in my purse for my phone.I dug around searching and searching…no phone!
    I had butterflies in my stomach since the zipper(拉链) was not zipped on my bag and perhaps my phone fell out or got picked up by wondering hands.
    I went around to all the venders (摊主) I had visited asking if they had come across a lost iPhone.
But no such luck.

    As we came to a street comer,we had to walk in opposite directions.My mind wondered for a mo-ment and then I decided to go on helping the lady.I saw a warm smile of gratefulness on her face,
which also warmed my own heart.
