He can hardly drive a car, ________.

[　　]

Earlier this week I was at a store after the holiday season. While waiting in line, I 　31 a Dad who was stressed out with his two sons waiting in line to buy a car seat for the younger child.

　 The father asked if he could buy the display model because it would be 　32 than the others. The cashier 　33　 that he could buy the display model 　34 that there was no box for it. He said that was just 　35 with him.

　 Then he asked if there were any additional coupons (優(yōu)惠券) to bring the 　36 down just a little bit more. The cashier was doing her best to 　37 some coupons for this young father, but wasn’t 　38 much of anything in her drawer.

　 I used to be a people-watcher, but as I 　39 this for about five minutes, I was beyond 　40 to help. Before I could really think about it, I found myself digging through my 41　 for the 10 to 15 dollars in coupons.

　 But I found nothing. I gave him $20 cash. The father said he couldn’t 　42　 it, but appreciated my offer. The cashier was 　43 in the same mode as I was in, wanting to help this young family and took the money toward his 　44 with a smile on her face. The seat 45 coming to around $50 instead of the original $90.

　 As the Dad collected his small children and began to 　46 , he looked at me and said, “You really shouldn’t have done that but I thank you so much---you just made certain that we will all get to eat today.”

　 My reply was simple. Be it 　47 or years from now, simply do the same or something extra for someone else you don’t know, and that would 　48 me tenfold (十倍地).

　 The whole experience made me realize that such a small thing can have a huge 　49 in the long run, as long as the chain isn’t 　50 .
