"How much money do you have? "she asked.

Many years later，I did learn that the watch cost several hundred dollars，so I really appreciated（感激）8 was to me. And I always felt 9 because I never had chance to thank her.
"What really surprised me to this day. . . my daughter，"my father said，"letting you have the watch for 11 dollars was 10 enough. But the fact that she let you leave the store with a dollar for the card was a touch of kindness. I'll never forget it. "
