Getting around the city when you are six months pregnant and have a two-year-old girl can be really challenging. One spring afternoon，we went to one of the grocery 【小题1】（store）nearby to buy some food for dinner. There was no sign of rain，and the store was just around the corner，【小题2】 we went there without an umbrella. However，we were about 【小题3】（leave）the store when the rain came in full force. It seemed that the streets would be flooded 【小题4】 water within minutes.

I noticed a young Chinese couple staring at 【小题5】（we）when we came to a crossroad and were waiting for the light to change. I figured they were 【小题6】（probable）wondering why a pregnant foreigner was dragging her little kid out through the rain. But as we crossed the street，【小题7】 woman offered me her umbrella. I told her I couldn't take it because it was clearly starting to storm. She insisted and handed it to me as she 【小题8】（hurry）off with her husband.

Though 【小题9】（catch）in the rain unexpectedly，we still treasured the memory and will always recall the 【小题10】（warm）and kindness of the Chinese couple.

I, together with my father, went to Zhangjiajie this summer vacation, where they paid a visit to Zhangjiajie National Forest Park. In 1982, it listed as the first national forest park of China, that covers an area of 48. 1 square kilometers. Zhangjiajie, lie in the northwest of Hunan Province, is one of the most important tourism city. What’s more, it was recognized for China’s excellent tourism city in 2000. We were deep impressed by the natural scenery there. Therefore, we had kept on taking photos. In my opinion, a journey was worthwhile, because we were tired.

   In the town of Boone，8 years ago this summer，a Chick-fil-A was built and all the parents and children were delighted to have a place with great food and a wonderful indoor playground. But there was one little girl who couldn't enjoy the food because her treatments made all food tasteless. She was most disappointed，however，that she was not able to play on the new playground that she saw so often on the way to the doctor's office. This was because her immune system（免疫系统）was nearly non-existent，and her parents and doctors were concerned that she might pick up a bad germ（病菌）.

One day when she was at the doctor's office，the manager of Chick-fil-A，who happened to be the husband of her favorite nurse and was bringing her lunch，knelt down before the little girl and asked her if she had been to the new place to play. The little girl sadly explained her health issues and the reason for her absence. The man held her and cried with her.

The next day，the little girl received a phone call from the man to meet him in the parking lot on Sunday. The girl's mom said，"I thought you are closed on Sundays." He said，"We do，but I have a surprise for your little girl. Oh，make sure she has play clothes and bring her best friend."

That Sunday，the little girl，her mom and dad，her best friend and her mom went to Chick-fil-A. The manager locked the door behind them，and disinfected（消毒）the entire play area from top to bottom twice. He served them cold fountain drinks and ice cream，and then played with the little girls until they could play no longer.

I know this story to be true because the little girl is my daughter, Makala. She will never forget the sacrifice and kindness of the manager. She will forever love him, and now that she is cancer-free, Chick-fil-A has the best chicken in her opinion.
