In college I had a part-time job at a shop downtown that sold doughnuts(a kind of cake) and coffee. The small shop,
36 on a block where a dozen buses stopped, it provided food to people who had a few minutes to wait for their
37 .
I
38 coffee in takeout cups and patiently waited on customers who’d point through the glass case and say, “No, not that one, the one two rows over.”
Every afternoon around four o’clock, a group of school children would burst
39 the shop. Adults would glance in, see the crowd and
40 on. I didn’t
41 if the kids waited for the bus in the shop.
I came to know them pretty well. The girls would talk about school. The boys were more quiet, choosing not to
42 
their secrets, but still, they’d wait every day in the store
43 their bus came.
Sometimes I'd hand out bus fare （车费） when a ticket went
44 — always repaid the next day．When ii snowed, the kids and I would wait
45 for a very late bus．They'd call their parents to let them know they were okay．At _ closing time I wouldn't
46 the door, and the kids and I would wait in the warm store until their bus finally arrived．
I
47 a lot of doughnuts on snowy days．I enjoyed my pals （伙伴）, but it never
48 to me that I played an important part in their lives—until one Saturday afternoon when a serious-looking man came into the store and asked if I was the girl who worked weekdays around four o'clock．I
49 it was true, and he introduced himself
50 the father of two of my favorites—a brother and sister team．
"I want you know I appreciate what you do for my children．I
51 about them having to take two buses to get home．It
52 a lot that they can wait here and you are keeping an eye on them．"
I told him it wasn't a big
53 ．that I enjoyed the kids．
"No, you don't understand．When they're with the doughnuts lady, I know they're
54 ．It is a big deal．And I'm grateful．"
So I was the Doughnuts lady．I not only had received a
55 ．I had become a landmark．
