I work as a waiter at a restaurant. Last night an elderly and seemingly 1 couple came into the restaurant and my co­workers eated them. We usually 2 our own tables. At one point the elderly couple signaled to me that they were ready to3. I was super busy so I found myself a bit 4, but out of politeness I went to them and 5 their order.

The6began ordering and started stammering (口吃)to an extent I'd never heard before. It was very 7 that he had a speech disorder. I could 8 the wife had told her husband a great range of things that she wanted, as a way for him to 9 ordering. It took a while for him to order, and in the meantime, she looked so proud and content 10 her husband's severe stammering.

Honestly the whole thing just brought me to 11. It was touching and just made merealize that a huge part of 12 is acceptance, tolerance and support. She could have made the order and made things a lot 13 for her husband and 14 the stares from other tables, but she didn't. 15 she supported him and was proud to see him complete the order.
