| In college I had a part-time job at a shop downtown that sold doughnuts (a kind of cake) and coffee. 1 on a block where a dozen buses stopped, it provided food to people who had a few minutes to wait for their 2 . I 3 coffee in take-out cups and patiently waited on customers who'd point through the glass case and say, "No, not that one, the one two rows over." Every afternoon around four o'clock, a group of school children would 4 into the shop. Adults would glance in, see the crowd and 5 on. I didn't 6 if the kids waited for the bus in the shop. I came to know them pretty well. The older girls would tell me about their boyfriends; the younger ones would talk about school. The boys were quieter, choosing not to 7 their secrets, but still, they'd wait every day in the store 8 their bus came. Sometimes I'd hand out bus fare when a ticket went 9 --always repaid the next day. When it snowed, the kids and I would wait anxiously for a very 10 bus. They'd call their parents to let them know they were okay. At 11 time I'd lock the door, and the kids and I would wait in the warm store until their bus finally arrived. I 12 a lot of doughnuts on snowy days. I enjoyed my pals (伙伴), but it never 13 to me that I played an important part in their lives until one Saturday afternoon when a serious -looking man entered the store and asked if I was the girl who worked weekdays around four o'clock. I 14 it was true, and he introduced himself 15 the father of two my favorites--a brother and sister team. "I want you to know I appreciate what you do for my children. I 16 about them having to take two buses to get home. It 17 a lot that they can wait here with you keeping an eye on them." I told him it wasn't a big 18 and that I enjoyed the kids. "No, you don't understand. When they're with the doughnuts lady, I know they're 19 . It is a big deal. And I'm grateful." So I was the Doughnuts lady. I not only had received a 20 , I had become a landmark. | ||||
