A

                              ★★☆☆☆

     Sundays,I walk to the supermarket. Mother hands me the grocery list and puts money in my pocket,hoping it will be enough. She's had a hard day,and have had a hard week. Nothing out of the ordinary happens when I get to the store. I grab the bread,some milk,and other things on the list. As I turn to head out,I see ? beautiful dress in the window. I turn away,bitter that I could never own such a dress.

     Outside,I cannot stop thinking about that pretty dress. It' s  not fair that I can never have what I want. I work so hard to help my family and yet I get nothing in return,just another list to do. In my anger,I fail to realize the apples are rolling across the road. Suddenly,I see a pair of hands,offering me an apple. Looking up,I see the tanned (晒黑的) face of this stranger. ?is clothes mismatched,bo?owed or stolen. But his eyes are soft and kind.

     “Thanks ,” I say. No other Rords are spoken as he continues to help me. I teirhim “thank you”

one more time and am on my way because I have many other things to finish. Suddenly,he says, “Have a good day,ma ,am." And then he gives me the biggest smile I have ever seen. Right then,he looks years younger 一 and I feel a fool.

     Look at me,feeling sorry for myself because I don’ t get what I want! Do I not think others are in the same boat,or worse? There are worse things than not having a beautiful dr?ss.

      My mother will hand me the list today. I will make the same journey and probably see something I want but cannot have. But before I start to feel sorry forvvmyself,I will remember the kind stranger with the big smile,and I will grab the last item,and check out.
