A few years ago I was working part time at a local ice cream shop. While   41   an elderly woman a hot fudge sundae (圣代*淇淋) at the drive-through window, I couldn’t help   42   her car, because I was just inches from her face. I   43   that she had a basket of what appeared to be purple tomatoes.

As I gave her the sundae, I said, “Those tomatoes look delicious! What   44   are they?” She smiled so   45  that I thought she was about to laugh, but instead she replied. “Here, have some!” Within seconds I had a   46   of purple tomatoes.

“Oh, no, you   47   give me any!” I said. Those tomatoes looked expensive. “Here, have more,” she   48  , and I had six of the prettiest tomatoes I had   49   seen. I weakly tried to say, “Really, you didn’t have to give me any,  50   I appreciate it.

The woman smiled again and   51  , “They belong to a rare type. So they aren’t like the one, you get in the grocery store. I hope you enjoy them.” I said “Thank you” again, and she   52   off.

About two weeks later, my   53   at the ice cream store sent me a message: “I want to let you know that your gardener dropped off a box of   54   for you. Please come and get them.”  55  , I texted, “My gardener?” That night my boss showed me the   56  . I opened it and inside were tomatoes, cucumbers, and green beans. I was   57  , feeling greatly surprised. Why was this woman being so   58  ?

I never saw her again, but to this day her act of kindness inspires me to   59   my garden plants with anyone who likes or needs them.  60  , all I expect is just a “Thank you”. Better yet, pay it forward and be someone else’s secret gardener.
