Jenny was the only child in her family.She had a quarrel with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily.She couldn’t help weeping(哭泣) sorrowfully(悲伤地) when she thought of the scolding(责骂) from her mother.Having wandered(游荡) aimlessly in the street for hours,she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat.She stood beside a stand(货摊) for a while,watching the middle-aged seller busy doing his business.However,with no money in hand,she gave a sigh(叹气) and had to leave.The seller behind the stand noticed the young girl and asked,“Hey,girl,you want to have the noodles?” “Oh,yes,but I don’t have money on me,” she replied.
“That’s nothing.I’ll treat you today,” said the man “Come in.” The seller brought her a bowl of noodles,the smell was so attractive.As she was eating,Jenny cried silently.“What is it?” asked the man kindly.“Nothing.Actually I was just touched by your kindness!” said Jenny as she wiped(擦拭) her tears.“Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles,while my mother drove me out of the house.She showed no care for me.She is so merciless(无情的) compared to a stranger!” Hearing the words,the seller smiled,“Girl,do you really think so?I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot.But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby.Can you number the times she cooked for you?Have you expressed your gratitude(感激) to her?” Jenny sat there,speechless and numb(麻木的) with shock;she remembered her mother’s familiar face and weathered (变形)hands.“Why didn’t I think of that?A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel indebted(感激的).Why haven’t I thanked my mum for what she has done for me?” On the way home,Jenny made up her mind to make an apology to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home.
Paragraph 1:
Approaching the doorway,

Paragraph 1:
Approaching the doorway,Jenny took a deep breath.Tired and sad,she sat down in front of the house.“Where might my mother be?” she wondered.“Is she really so angry with me that she doesn’t want to show any care for me?” Again,the scene of the quarrel appeared in her mind.She remembered her rudeness to her mother,and she just realized that all the scolding from her mother was due to the fact that her mother really cared a lot about her.Tears rolled down her cheeks.
Paragraph 2:
A gentle touch on her hair called her mind back.She raised her head to see the familiar face and the worried eyes.“Here you come! I’ve been looking for you,” came the tired voice.Jenny couldn’t help but throw herself into her mother’s arms.“I’m sorry Mum and thank you for all you have done for me.” She expressed the sincere apology and the great gratitude.Then she felt the hug tightened.
