So tired as I was, I bothered myself to open up my cafe shop on the cold morning. With many consumers streaming in, I knew another long business day began. And I had to serve far into the night.
As I rushed among the tables, suddenly, a   36  asked  if I could mind a child. I was quite   37   but I could tell the man was quite desperate. So I had to make a    38  with him that if he wanted his son to stay and wait for him, he had to  39  something in the shop.
     This was quite  40 for the man to do; I could  41 he was quite poor by the  42    he was dressed. It looked as if he had tried to come in his  43  clothes. But they still looked a bit old and worn out  44   he had often worn them, just to make himself look best. Looking down I could see his   45  were also a bit torn and the heels were in a terrible state. I thought he was going for a job interview. In the end he bought a small box of  46   for his little son and seated him down in the corner. I could tell the boy was feeling down and only could   47 with a bit of cheering up.    
     Seeing that the kid sat there for quite a while, I was a bit  48 as the poor little kid was sitting   49   his own. People watched him and some kids even came over to pick on him. I was  50  to see one of them even knocked his cookies off the table. He quickly went and got them back without saying a word. I was hoping his father would  51  up and come back for his son’s  52 .   
     At closing time, the only person left was the little boy. After a while, the father finally came in with a tiresome look. I   53   he didn’t get any job. As they were leaving,  I offered the kid a little cake,  but the man rejected it. I  54  he felt as if I had just abused him. Of course I didn’t mean to. But I could understand why he felt like that. I only wished them good    55   whatever happened.
     The man opened the door to leave－father and son hand in hand.
