The class were very interested in the strange picture."I think it must be the hand of God that bring us food," said one child, "A farmer," said another,"Because he grows beautiful flowers."

The doctor handed me my medicine and said sorry to me because his register (收银机) had already closed. He asked if I would mind using the register at the front of the store. I told him not to worry and walked up front. One person was in line ahead of me, a little girl no more than seven with a bottle of medicine on the counter (柜台). She held a little green and white coin purse closely to her chest (胸口).      The purse reminded me of the days when, as a child, I liked dressing myself up in my grandma"s clothes.
