When I was in high school, I worked helping Dad sell fruits and vegetables at the market. One day as I was preparing the fruits, a little boywith his mom and sister. He was about eight years old, and the girl, five or six. They were looking at the fruits_me. I heard the kids say to their mom (in French). "They are good!" I knew it was French, because I can speak and understand it.
Then I noticedthe mom was picking the fruits. At first I thought she was really looking at the fruits because he was facing them, but then I noticed how much she had to feel and each one as she picked them out. And she often asked her son if it looked OK, but looked away above where his face was. Putting what I saw together, I was sure she was blind.
Both of the kids continued to help their mom the fruits. The son made sure the fruits were not obviously bad, and the daughterthem to her mom. The woman then felt each one and smiled, and the daughter would put them into the basket. The kids were smiling while helping their mom pick the fruits out.
Their smile and gentle manner me in a way that never happened before. It was so beautiful to see such young kids so willingly help. Most kidswould be picking out candies or toys in a store for themselves, instead of helping their mom pick out fruits, as the two kids did.
It was great to witness (见证) the moment, but not so great because I didn't tell the mom how beautiful her children were in their language. This is I regret (遗憾) to this day
