Ⅱ.读后续写

The Cost of a Smile
Kathy was a young woman in her 20s who worked in a small restaurant as a waitress.One
day，as she went about her shift with her usual angry look，a kind old man walked in and sat
down at the counter.He read the menu and politely told her what he wanted.
Kathy took his order，and yelled，“Your food will be ready soon.” As she turned toleave，the man said，“A smile costs nothing.” Kathy rolled her eyes at him and walked away.
She brought his order，cleared his plates and gave him the bill，for which he left a nice tip.
Each time the old man saw her，he smiled and thanked her.This only made her angrier.
A week went by，and every day the man came for lunch and the same thing happened.And
each time Kathy took his order he would say，“A smile costs nothing.”
But a week later，Kathy picked up a menu，wrote the words “I SMILE...$20” at the
bottom，and placed it on the counter for the kind old man to see.
He came，and Kathy waited for his reaction as he read the menu.The old man ordered his
usual and added，“...and a smile，if you don’t mind.” Kathy was so surprised.She laughed out
loud.“Now，now...” The man jokingly scolded，“I ordered a smile，not a laugh.” So Kathy
put on a bright smile and said，“Come right up，sir.” And to her surprise，he left a $20 tip!
A few years went by，and the two bonded like family.Charlie，the kind old man，was a
retired manager whose wife passed away long ago.He spent most of his time at home，with
exception of his frequent restaurant visits.Every day Kathy spent her break talking to him.

One day he didn’t come to the restaurant.Kathy called his home，only to hear an answering
machine.She went to his house and heard from his neighbor that he had died the day before.On
hearing the bad news she felt seized by a burst of sadness and couldn’t help crying
bitterly.Because Charlie had no family or close friends，Kathy put herself in charge of his funeral
arrangements.She and the neighbor were the only people to attend.
Several days after the funeral，Kathy received a very importantlooking letter in the mail.It
was from Charlie’s lawyer.In it was a check for almost $600,000！Kathy nearly fainted，but
then she noticed a handwritten note which read，“Dear Kathy，by the time you read this，I will
be gone.Here I have left for my best friend a small token of my gratitude I can never repay you for
what you have given me，for you see，Kathy，a smile is worth much more than $20.Indeed，a
smile is priceless.”
