93. One Good Turn Deserves Another

善有善报
One good turn deserves another. That's the lesson five store clerks learned recently.
“善有善报”是五名店员最近学到的一课。
Every day a strange old man came to their supermarket to buy groceries.
每天，一位陌生的老先生都会到他们的超市来买杂货。
"Once he came in wearing only one shoe," recalled one of the clerks.
其中一名店员回想到：“有一次他进来时只穿着一只鞋子。”
And although he grumbled a lot and they often had to stand there listening to him, he was a nice old man.
虽然他经常发牢骚并且他们得站在那里听他抱怨，但他仍然是个心地不坏得老先生。
The clerks befriended him and even helped him carry his groceries.
那几个店员待他像朋友一样，甚至还帮他拿他买的杂货。
One day when he fell ill with cancer, they even visited him in the hospital.
有一天他得了癌症，他们还到医院看望他。
The old man turned out to be a retired doctor.
那位老先生原来是一名退休得医师。
And, of course, when he died, he didn't die a pauper.
当然，他临终时并非是个穷光蛋。
He left US$70,000 in his will to thank them for their kindness.
他在他的遗嘱中留下7万美元来感谢他们的好心。
