I work as a waiter at a hotel. Last night,an elderly white, seemingly _________ couple entered the restaurant. My co-worker greeted and _________ them in a friendly way. We usually take charge of our own _________, but when we are _________, we help each other out.
I was _________ the customers at another table when the elderly husband _________ to me that they were ready to order. When I went to take their order, the husband began ordering, stuttering (结巴) to a degree I’d never heard before.
It was very clear that he had a _________ disorder. I could tell the wife had told her husband very extensively what she wanted, as a(n) _________ for him to practice ordering.
It took him quite a while to order. Meanwhile, she was just sitting there,looking proud and_________ despite her husband’s endless stuttering.
Honestly, the whole thing was beautiful and made me realize that a huge part of love is __________, patience and support. She could have made the order for her husband and avoided the __________ from other tables, but she didn’t. __________,she supported him and was proud to see him __________ the order.
The whole thing also reminded me that life isn’t always __________ for everyone. Even rich people also seemed to have problems they have to face daily. But I’ve learnt that life isn’t about waiting for the storm to __________, it’s about learning to dance in the rain.
