I arrived late one night, on a business trip, and had dinner in a restaurant. As I was finishing my meal, an old couple came in to dine. They were holding hands and had           smiles on their faces. Shortly after I ended a 20-year            , I still had pain in my heart and I was          at the love they show for one another. As a result, when I paid my bill I gave the waiter another $50 to pay the couple’s bill and then left without        them.
The next day my business meeting        two hours before the flight back to Houston. So I had enough time left to enter the restaurant to dine      . After I had been     , the waiter, from the night before, came up to my table     . She can’t wait to tell me what happened after I      last night: when the old couple were         that another guest had paid for them, they asked whom it was. The waiter said that she had never      me before, and told them what I told her, “I just wanted to repay      for the true love that they were showing.” Feeling surprised , they       , and paid the bills for another two young couples saying “Love begets (产生) love”. I        with delight and said “ That’s nice”. Then I read the menu and         my meal.
When my dinner was       and I intended to pay, my waiter was       to be found. I had to walk over to the Hostess Stand and        that I needed to pay for my meal and hurry to the       . She said that my      had paid for me just to repay the joy that I brought to the faces of the elderly couple and the amazement of the two young couples.
