The Secret of Happiness 快乐的秘诀The old man shuffled拖着脚走 slowly into the restaurant.With head tilted斜着, and shoulders bent forward, he leaned on his trusty cane with each unhurried step.His tattered(worn)cloth jacket, patched trousers, worn out shoes,and warm personality made him stand out from the usual Saturday morning breakfast crowd.Unforgettable were his pale blue eyes that sparkled like diamonds, large rosy cheeks, and thin lips held in a tight, steady smile.A young waitress named Mary watched him shuffle toward a table by the window and ran over to him.She said, “Here, Sir.
