The lady behind the counter (柜台) had the old man in such a state further 6 20 cents. He searched his pocket, shaking violently and 7 looking upset. But instead of letting the man go, she 8 that if his bill wasn’t going to be paid in full, the electricity company would probably give a 9 on next electricity bill for the 10 fee. It meant he would pay more the next time.
I was 11 to have heard that and the scene really made me upset. So I went over and asked the cashier to give all of the money back to the old man and then paid the 12 for him. The old man was 13 and said, “It’s very kind of you. But why were you doing this?” I said, “Because it was the right thing to do.” He thanked me over and over and smiled at me on his way out of the post office.
