It was a busy day at the grocery store and an old couple were in line behind me with birthday balloons.

From __1__ they said, I knew their nephew had a twin and something had happened to the baby at birth. Though they did all they could __2__ (help) them but times were tough for them.

They seemed to be too nervous and were too __3__ (anxiety) to leave, so I asked whether they wanted to go ahead of me or not. They didn't understand what I __4__ (mean) at first. After knowing it, they were very appreciative. But they stood behind me.

At that time I know it had to be a significant day to them. Nothing could be __5__ (good) if someone offered to help them. So I told the cashier to add the balloons to my purchases. The old couple refused at first but I insisted. I said, “You tell your sweet nephew that there are still nice people __6__ (leave) who wanted to give them __7__ hand in this world.” They thanked me over and over and the cashier was moved to tears, __8__ (say) there was an angel in her line today.

That little act of __9__ (kind) made everyone __10__ saw it feel good—but it made me feel the best of all!
