I recently moved to a new town in a new state. It's hard to learn where everything is.I have this really nice man putting in hardwood floors and stairs in my new house. He has been working very hard. His hands are all blistered from removing the tiles and preparing the floor for the hardwood - but he never complains.
I was at the house yesterday while he was hard at work. I thought to myself that he might like a yummy lunch but I don't live in the house yet and so I don't have anything to cook with. So, I asked him if you would like a Subway sandwich as a treat from me. A huge smile came across his face and he said, "I would love one!"
Being new to the area I didn't know where to go. He told me exactly how to get to the right place!
I found it easily and saw that there were lots of stores there that would be useful for me.
We both enjoyed our sandwiches. And now I know how to get somewhere else in town, and where some little shops are, and a grocery store too!
Be kind! It's so nice to see those smiles come back to you!
