After finishing shopping in the supermarket, I and my wife Julie stood in the shortest line.
There was only one guy in it, but he was in a 31 and there seemed to be some trouble going on.
Well, I and my wife Julie stepped in behind him. At first, he seemed to be having 32 getting his groceries onto the conveyor belt. But after a while, I realized that what he was actually doing was 33 them into two parts. I offered to help, but he and the checkout lady had it 34 He asked Julie if she would mind 35 his empty basket away. Then he 36 for his wallet which was in a pocket on one side of his wheelchair. The way he was positioned and the fact that he had only one 37 arm made this quite a stretch for him, so I helped there.
What must it be like, I wondered, to be so 38 on other people like that.9 The checkout operator came around and gave him his 39 and the items he needed. She 40 one bag of groceries over a handle at the back of his chair. I 41 to get the. bigger bag and he said, "No. 42 you could do me a favor. Take that part along to the entrance and give it to Angela. " I dutifully did that, 43 Julie with our shopping. It 44 that Angela was collecting food for people who might otherwise go hpngry!
This guy, despite the 45 that his physical condition imposed on him, had 46 more than twice as much shopping as he needed and 47 the bigger bag to help other people! He didn't let the fact that he needed help 48 him from being a help. He may have been limited 49 , bat his heart was more than capable of 50 all that. And it changed my idea of dependenee.
