One day I went into a shop for a specific sort of metal polish(擦光剂). While I was in the shop, I saw an older woman looking around at things, and thought I would begin a   31    to light things up. We   32   well and showed some of the beautiful items to each other. She said she was in the shop to purchase a wedding gift for a nephew, whose wedding she wouldn’t be able to attend.
We wandered off  33    and met together again at the cash register. I   34    on the beautiful bowl she had chosen, and how   35   so many of the items were. She asked what I was  36    , and I showed her my polish tube. I said I might buy more items when my kids had all    37    and gone, but they weren’t in my  38    right now. I just like to  39    , as I would do in an art museum.
She asked me what some of my   40    were, and I said I liked the salt and pepper shakers(搅拌器). She asked me to    41     her where the shakers were, so we walked over. She     42    my favorites and took them to the clerk.
I thought she was   43   with my taste, and was going to add them to her nephew’s     44   . No. They were purchased for me. They were worth ninety dollars. I couldn’t 45               it.

I never saw her again after that day,   48   I think of her each time I put those beautiful objects on my table.
