Question

   My six-year-old granddaughter Caitlin and I stopped at a small shop for a chocolate cake. As we were going out the of door,a young teenage boy was coming in.

   This young man had no hair on the sides of his head and a tuft of (—簇) blue hair on top. His left ear and nose were pierced. He held a skateboard under one arm and a basketball under the other.

   Caitlin,who was walking ahead of me,stopped when she saw the teen. I thought she’d be scared of him and freeze on the spot.

   I was wrong.

   She backed up against the door and opened it as wide as it would go. I stepped aside and let the boy pass. He was grateful (感激的) and said ,“Thank you very much. ”

   On our way to the car,I talked with Caitlin about holding open the door for the boy. I wanted to make sure whether she was troubled by his appearance. But the only thing Caitlin noticed about the teen was the fact that his arms were full. “ He would have had a hard time to open the door. ”

   I saw the shaved (剃光的) head and the blue hair. She saw a person carrying something under each arm and heading toward a closed door.

   In the future,I hope to get on her level and raise my sights.
