Mary was waiting for the airplane to take off.. She was happy to get a seat by herself. Just then，an air hostess came up to her and asked. “Would you mind changing your seat? A man would like to sit with his wife.” The only available seat（空座）was next to a girl with her arms broke,a black-and-blue face, and a sad expression.

By the end of the five-hour trip, Mary's heart had warmed, and the time was really better spent than if she had just sat by herself.
