   When I was young, my parents ran a snack bar in our small town.

   One evening in early April, my mother told me to fill in at the snack bar   36   a worker who had the flu. I told her I would mess it up,   37   I had never worked at the bar before. I   38   that instead of making money, I would end up owing it.

   “You can do it,” said my mother, “  39  , you won’t get much business until lunch.”

   “But I’ll never remember the orders, and I’m no good   40   money. Please, Mom, don’t   41   me.

   I shrugged my shoulders. I thought my mother’s   42   was a bad one, but I   43  .

The line of people grew, and everybody seemed   46  , I was so nervous that my hands shook, and I   47   a cup into pieces. What a mess! Then my mother came to   48   me, and she also showed me how to make   49  . If someone gave me $ 5 for something that cost $ 3.25, I handed over

  50   quarters and a dollar and said, “75 cents makes four dollars, plus one dollar makes five.” Things went more   51   after that.

   By the end of the day, I could remember orders,   52   the bill, and make change quickly with a smile. I was even a little   53   when the sun came out and dried up business. My mother said she was proud of me, and when she   54   that I work at the snack bar again next year, I did not even shrug. I was too busy
