To celebrate the end of our exams, my friends and I went to a fast food restaurant. We 1 hamburgers and Coca Colar at the counter. When our 2 came, I started walking towards an empty table.  By  bad luck, my purse strap(带子) got 3 on a chair and the tray(托盘that I was holding slipped 4 my hands and went flying in the air. The tray, and its contents, 5 on a man who was just about to 6 a bite of his sandwich. I stared, greatly 7, as the drinks soaked (浸湿) his white shirt.
Then I 8 my eyes and prepared myself for his burst of 9. Instead, he said “It’s OK” to 10 me before he disappeared into washroom.
Still shaky and unsure 11 to do next, my friends and I went to a table and sat there, trying our best to look 12 . A moment later, the man came out of the washroom and 13 our table. My heart almost stopped 14. I though he was going to ask for my father’s 15 and call him.
To my surprise, he merely smiled at us, handed us some cash and said, “16 yourself new hamburgers.” He then wa lked 17 without even finishing his food. He could have made what was already an uncomfortable situation worse, 18 he chose a different way and gave us a reason to believe that there is still 19 in this world. I’ll never 20 his actions.
