It's a small gas station that has snacks, drinks, cigarettes, and candies. The young man behind the counter knows his __36__　 by name and what they normally want to buy. He treats children and adults with equal　 __37__. He reads science fiction behind the counter when business is　 __38__.

One day, three people rushed in and grabbed food off the shelves as fast as they could,　 __39__　 not intending to pay for it. He hit the “panic button” , then went over the counter and　 __40__　 the front door. It was obvious that they were homeless, and equally obvious that they weren't going　 __41__　 with their ill?gotten gains. They　 __42__　 the food and simply crowded together in panic—knowing the police were　 __43__　 the way.

Imagine what they must have felt like when they were told they didn't have to steal if they were that　 __44__. “We have food in the back, expired (到期)but still　 __45__　 to eat. If you need food, you　 __46__　 have some.”

They were told to　 __47__　 what they had dropped and put it back, and then asked to straighten out the mess. They were doing just that　 __48__　 the police arrived. The officers were told the situation was under control and the police were no longer　 __49__.

This wasn't what they had　 __50__. They were being treated as human beings who could right the wrong they'd done. Shocked, they quickly followed orders to take turns and use the restroom to clean up.

Soon three　 __51__　 people walked out with all the　 __52__　 their arms could hold. They were　 __53__　 that，if they needed to come back again, they were to ask and not just grab.

And then the young man went back to read until the next customer came in. He would be the　 __54__ person in the world to claim he was a hero. But he gave three people something they were in desperate need of—a　 __55__amount of self?respect and a little bit of hope.
