It was the first time that my wife and I had flown first class. As we boarded the plane, we felt as if we were part of a wealthy group. We were (满的) of a sense of pride at sitting with those important people.
We noticed that the stewardess(空姐) was working non-stop to make sure of the comfort of the first-class (乘客). She could not walk by a seat (没有) being given an order. I thought she must love her job very much, since she gave each person (如此) a big smile.
As the stewardess passed our seats near the end of the (航班)， I looked up at her and said, "Thank you and I hope you have a great night. "She stopped with an (表情) of disbelief on her face, and said, "Excuse me?" I (重复) my words, and she smiled in a rather funny way, It seemed as if I had asked a question that she did not know how to (回答). A little later, as we were getting off the plane, the stewardess said to me, "Thank you very much, sir." Then she said (静静地), "You are the only one who has thanked me or said something nice to me all night. I really appreciate your kindness."
The sense of belonging to an elite (精英) group in first class disappeared as soon as I heard those words. We were (提醒) that if there was no kindness, there would be no first class flying.
