←2023河南校联考模)As I stood in line waiting to cash out at my favorite retail store,I studied the
customer in front of me.She was young.maybe early twenties.But she already had a tired look to her.Her face
looked drawn from exhaustion.Her thin,unbuttoned winter coat had seen those bad days.The items in her cart
included the cheapest cuts of meat.Powdered milk,day-old bread,bargain soap,and inexpensive shampoo
completed her purchases-well,almost.

bags into her cart.Just as I put the second one in,I noticed a twenty-dollar bill peeking out that I had not placed in

"You put that money in there,didn't you?"I accused the clerk with a laugh when I went to pay my bill.I was
surprised when she shook her head."No,it was her,"she replied,pointing to another woman.
My small,insignificant gesture had rippled to become a larger kindness than I ever could have imagined.
