A young man was walking through a supermarket
to pick up a few things when he noticed an old lady following him
around. Thinking nothing of it, he ignored her and continued on.
Finally he went to the checkout line, but she got in front of him.
"Pardon me," she said, "I'm sorry if my staring at you has made you
feel uncomfortable. It's just that you look just like my son, who
just died recently." "I'm very sorry," replied the young man, "is
there anything I can do for you?" "Yes," she said, "As I'm leaving,
can you say 'Good bye, Mother'? It would make me feel so much
better." "Sure," answered the young man.
As the old woman was leaving, he called out, "Goodbye, Mother!" As
he stepped up to the checkout counter, he saw that his total was
$127.50. "How can that be?" He asked, "I only purchased a few
things!" "Your mother said that you would pay for her," said the
clerk.
有个年轻人去超市购物,看到有个老太太总在他身边转悠,他也没太在意,继续选他自己要的东西.最后他去付款的时候,她走到了他的前面."对不起,"她说,"如果我这样盯着你看让你不舒服,我很抱歉.因为你看起来太象我的儿子了,他在不久前死了."
"我很遗憾,"年轻人回答,"我能帮你做些什么吗?"
"是的."她说,"当我离开的时候,你能对我说'再见,妈妈!'吗? 那样会让我感觉好一点的."
"当然可以."年轻人回答.
到老太太离开的时候,他叫道:'妈妈再见."
待他走上收银台,发现他总共需付127.5美元."怎么可能?"他问,"我只买了一点点东西!"
"你母亲说你会帮她付帐的."收银员说.
