The Secret of Happiness An old man walked slowly into a restaurant with his cane（拐杖）. His overcoat and worn-out shoes made him stand out from the usual Saturday morning breakfast crowd. A young waitress named Mary watched him move toward a by the window. Mary ran over to him, and said, “Here, Sir. Let me give you a hand with that.” Without a word, he smiled and nodded a thank-you. She pulled the chair away from the table and helped him get seated. In a soft, clear he said, “Thank you, Miss. And bless you for your.” “You’re welcome, Sir,” she responded. “I’ll be in a moment, and if you need anything in the meantime, just wave at me!” After he had finished a meal, Mary helped him up from his chair, him his cane, and walked with him to the front door. Holding the door open for him, she said, “Come back and see us, Sir!” The old man around and smiled. When Mary went to clean his table, she was to find a business card, a one-hundred-dollar bill and a which read, “Dear Mary, I respect (尊敬) you very much, and you respect yourself too. It shows the way you treat others. You have found the secret of! Your kind gestures will shine through those who meet you.” Actually the man she had served was the of the restaurant. That was the first time that she or any of his employees had seen him.
