On a trip to California, my family stopped for lunch. As we walked toward the entrance to the restaurant, a man, with a           beard and dirty hair, jumped up from a bench outside the restaurant and opened the door for us．Regardless of his            , he greeted us in a friendly way.
Once inside, my daughters whispered, "Mom, he          . " After we ordered our lunch, I explained, telling the kids to look            the dirt.
