They crossed in front of me as I was driving out of the store parking lot. I would be delayed for a whole ten seconds. However, I realized that it was an elderly couple. No more anger.

That little example of true strength that day changed my whole personal perception of life. Suddenly I wasn’t so mad about having to work a few extra hours on Saturday. I had my strength, and I was still relatively young.
That picture of those two elderly people walking with dignity(尊严、自尊) and strength stayed with me the entire week. My life wasn’t so bad after all. I had my health and a good job. My wife always gave me good advice whenever I needed it. I started to think --- not only was I lucky to have it all, but so was that wonderful old couple, who, despite the trials and sufferings of a long life, still had the love and support of each other to carry them through this world.
There are so many people out there just like that couple. My wife and I sometimes picture ourselves in our old age, walking arm-in-arm into the sunset. That image always gives us a warm feeling of comfort. Just remember, none of us would be here if it wasn’t for our elders.

After he had finished a hearty meal, Mary brought him the change from his ticket, helping him up from his chair and out from behind the table. She 84 him his walking-stick, and walked with him to the door. Holding the door open for him, she said, “Come back and see us, sir!” He said softly with a smile, “You are very kind!”
