Every fast-food employee knows that the drive-through window is the worst position. The window sticks with constant ice; the roar of engines hurts your 36 ; your words are lost in the howling wind.On a 37 afternoon, everything changed.
Every once in a while, the sub-zero temperatures seal a 38windows shut. Drivers don’t exactly enjoy having to stand outside in the cold, 39 their orders into a speaker box, when they expect to drive through on their heated leather seats. In such cases, most customers tend to show their annoyance to the employees.
This woman was 40 .“I’ll get the next car’s 41 as well,” she said as she came up to the window to pay. She stood outside, 42 much snow on her hair. Though she was obviously freezing, her bright43 lit up her face like a fire.
“You can’t 44 their drinks,” I said, confused and tired.
“No, but I’ll buy them,” she said. “Pay it forward and all that.”

The trend continued. Customers arrived annoyed, only to leave 51 and pleased. Some
were shocked to spend much more than they had expected, 52 others ended up receiving their order for less than half the price.
Five vehicles passed, then ten, then twenty. No one refused to pay. Customers stood at my window 53 a fist-full of change to buy drinks for a complete stranger. Cars drove off, honking (鸣笛) and 54 their thanks.
It only takes one customer, one person, to change the entire 55 of traffic. It only takes one moment, one smile, to warm up even the coldest of days.
