Every fast-food employee knows that the drive-through window is the worst position. The window sticks with constant ice; the roar of engines hurts your ; your words are lost in the howling wind.
On a afternoon, everything changed.
Every once in a while, the sub-zero temperatures seal a windows shut. Drivers don’t exactly enjoy having to stand outside in the cold, their orders into a speaker box, when they expect to drive through on their heated leather seats. In such cases, most customers tend to show their annoyance to the employees.
This woman was .
“I’ll get the next car’s as well,” she said as she came up to the window to pay. She stood outside, much snow on her hair. Though she was obviously freezing, her bright lit up her face like a fire.
“You can’t their drinks,” I said, confused and tired.
“No, but I’ll buy them,” she said. “Pay it forward and all that.”
Completely puzzled, I charged her as , and when the next customer arrived at the window I explained what had just happened. I watched as his changed — first angry to be out in the cold, then at the random act of kindness, and finally, delighted by his .
“I suppose I’ll pay for the next order then,” he replied, nodding and waving at the impatient driver him. He over the cash and received his pre-paid hot drink.
The trend continued. Customers arrived annoyed, only to leave and pleased. Some were shocked to spend much more than they had expected, others ended up receiving their order for less than half the price.
Five vehicles passed, then ten, then twenty. No one refused to pay. Customers stood at my window a fist-full of change to buy drinks for a complete stranger. Cars drove off, honking (鸣笛) and their thanks.
It only takes one customer, one person, to change the entire of traffic. It only takes one moment, one smile, to warm up even the coldest of days.

Learning experiences happen to us throughout our lives. Not long ago, I had one that I would like to 41 with you.
I was going to Marblehead with my sailboat team. The team was racing down the high way at 85 mph 42 we realized we were 43 . Luckily, we saw a rest area ahead. I had a brand new $ 20 bill. I was so 44 because I had never had that kind of cash before. But spending it on 45 seemed like throwing it away. We all rushed into the pizza line.
46 , I got a pizza and a drink, and walked to my table. About halfway through the meal, I 47 I had not actually handed my money to the cashier. I had just 48 out, and nobody had noticed. I felt terrible.
My conscience(良心) opened its mouth and swallowed me in one big bite. I couldn’t 49 over it. I just couldn’t go back to the cashier and 50 for my stolen pizza. I was so upset that I
51 to forgive myself the pleasure of an ice cream for 52 that someone would say, “Hey, Jeff, why don’t you use the change 53 the pizza instead of that nice, new $ 20 bill?” I was not so 54 of my cash now.
For the next two years, whenever I was 55 of the “pizza incident,” I would say to myself, “Don’t think about it.”
I have learned two things from this 56 . Maybe I was a fool for 57 in to my conscience, and being too stupid to appreciate a 58 pizza. But the real lesson is that even if you get away from what you have done, your conscience will 59 up with you.
This reflects the saying, “A coward (懦夫) dies a thousand times, a hero dies once.” I was a coward and have felt terrible about that accident at least a thousand times. If I had been a 60 and gone back to pay for the pizza, I would have felt a little uncomfortable about it only once, or maybe twice.
