26、, but store rules didnt allow me to do so. I felt stupid and unkind saying this, but I valued my job. Just then, another man, standing behind the first, spoke up. If anything, he looked more pitiable. “Charge it to me” was all he said. What I had been feeling was pity. Pity is soft and safe and easy
27、. Compassion, on the other hand, is caring in action. I thanked the second man but told him that was not allowed either. Then I reached into my pocket and paid for the biscuits myself.

32、highlighted recently when she was on her first state visit, accompanying her husband President Xi Jinping.
