893　Good-bye mother! 妈妈再见！

A young man was walking through a supermarket to pick a few things when he noticed an old lady following him around. Thinking nothing of it, he ignored her and continued on. Finally he went to the checkout line, but she got in front of him. “Pardon me,” she said, “I'm sorry if my staring at you has made you feel uncomfortable. It's just that you look just like my son, who just died recently.” “I'm very sorry,” replied the young man, “Is there anything I can do for you?” “Yes,” she said, “As I'm leaving, can you say ‘Good-bye mother!’ It would make me feel much better.” “Sure,” answered the young man. As the old woman was leaving, he called out, “Good-bye mother!” and felt quite good about himself that he did a good deed and made someone feel happy. As he stepped up to the checkout counter, he saw that his total was $127.50. “How can that be?” he asked, “I only purchased a few things!” “Your mother said that you would pay for her,” said the clerk.

一个年轻人正在超级市场里选购几样东西。他注意到一个老太太总是跟着他。他没有多想，就自顾自继续走。最后他到了交款处排队，但是老太太走到他的前面。她说：“对不起，如果我盯着你看使你觉得不舒服，我向你道歉。这只是因为你长得很像我刚死去的儿子。”年轻人回答说：“我为你难受。我能为你做点什么吗？”她说：“是的。当我要走的时候你能不能说一声‘妈妈再见’？这样会使我好受得多。”年轻人说：“当然可以。”于是，当老太太要走的时候，年轻人说了一声“妈妈再见”。他为自己做了一件好事，使别人快乐而感到高兴。当他走到收银员那里，看到他的总金额是$127.50。他说：“这怎么可能？我只买了几样东西。”收银员说：“你妈妈说你会为她付账。”
