That’s when I had the idea of paying the difference for her. She refused at first，but after I 24 ,she agreed.She thanked me and moved to the end of the counter to 25 her order.I continued with my work and thought 26 more of it
About an hour later 27 had slowed down and I was waiting for my next customer.Then I glanced over towards the 28 and saw the same woman whom I’d helped with the money entering again．I 29 recognized her.
She walked straight up to me and said，“I want to thank you again for what you did.You see，I’m a diabetic(糖尿病患者),and 30 I need to eat something right away．That’s 31 I came in earlier．If you hadn’t helped me as you did，I 32 have fainted.Thank you．”
She handed me two dollars, 33 I’d given her.
34 the woman walk away,I realized that God had used me to help me.In the end,I was 35 not only with money but also with the satisfaction of knowing that I’d helped someone out of a tight spot.
