1. Recently, my husband and I had the chance to do something good for two complete strangers. This
us feel so good that I felt I had to share our experience.
We were traveling to Mexico for
week with our family.
I traveled a lot for work, we had enough frequent flier miles (累计飞行里程) and could upgrade (升级) our tickets to
class seats. We were sitting in the very first two seats in the first row of first class,
the plane to take off. I overheard one of the flight attendants (空乘) telling the others that there was a couple sitting in the
of the plane who had just got married the previous day and were heading off on their
. They had booked their flight eight months in advance
, due to some schedule changes, they had not been able to get
together. No one else on the plane was willing to move and the bride (新娘) was
.
I turned to my husband and told him what I heard. We immediately
and I called the flight attendant over to tell her that we would be happy to
our seats to this couple. The flight attendant seemed
and amazed and said, “Really? Are you sure” We said, “Of course!”
So we moved to the back of the
. I sat in a middle seat part way back and my
sat in the window seat in the last row of the plane.
The flight attendants were extremely thankful and
good care of us even though we were no longer sitting in first class. We both made friends with the people
around us and had a great flight. I had to go back to the front of the plane to pick up a forgotten bag at one point during the
. I saw the newlyweds sitting very close together,
enjoying champagne (香槟).
It didn’t just make my day—it made my whole Thanksgiving
