Among the others at the bus stop was a woman who was about 50 years old．She wore a dowdy（过时的）hat，an old pair of boots and a dark coat，but she had no gloves（手套）．Another woman who looked younger came to the older woman and said，“Your hands must be very old．You will get frostbite（生冻疮）in this weather if you don’t wear gloves．”With these words，she dropped her heavy bag to the ground and began searching inside it．After a while, she took out a pair of purple gloves from her bag，took the older woman's hands and gently placed a glove on each hand, covering one finger at a time．It was like watching a play．“Thank you．You’re so kind．”The old woman said again and again．
