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 forweek 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 toclass 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 theof 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 gettogether. 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 immediatelyand I called the flight attendant over to tell her that we would be happy toour 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 andgood 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!
