In my final year of high school, I got a job working at a local coffee shop near my home. I thought the job would be easy and free of stress.

I___________ myself making delicious doughnuts, serving the best coffee and becoming friends with those customers who often came to the coffee shop. I wasn’t_______the people with too many orders, the women who complained that the coffee was much too creamy, or the men who wanted their iced coffee remade again and again until they reached perfection. I couldn’t seem to_______anyone. One rainy day, one of my customers Hank came in looking upset. He said he felt like getting in bed, pulling the sheets (床單) up over his head, and staying there for a few years. I knew exactly how he felt.

Before he left, I handed him a bag along with his iced coffee. He was_______, because he hadn’t ordered anything but coffee. I had given him his favourite kind of doughnut.

“It’s on me and I’ve paid for it.” I told him. “I know you like doughnuts very much.

Have a nice day.”

He smiled and_______me before heading back out into the rain. The next day, it was still raining. I spent the whole afternoon hanging out of the window handing people their orders. I was completely_______ and cold. Worse, no one was tipping (給小費(fèi)) that day. Every time I looked into our empty tip jar, I grew more upset for myself.

In the evening, the customer from the day before drove up to the window. He handed me a pink rose and a note.

The note read:

Christine,

Thanks for being so sweet, kind and thoughtful yesterday. It is so nice to meet someone who's truly nice. Please don' t change your___________!-Have a great day!
