阅读下面短文, 根据所给情节进行续写, 使之构成一个完整的故事。It was an ordinary weekend. The supermarket was crowded with shopping their weekly groceries. I was no exception, purchasing fresh produce and a few comfort food items, and then I reached the checkout line. As the cashier scanned my items and I reached for my wallet, my heart sank. It was missing. No cash, no cards, just an empty pocket and a growing sense of panic.
"I'm so sorry, "I stammered(结结巴巴地说), my face burning red as I began to gather my groceries, ready to make my embarrassed retreat.
But a calm voice from behind interrupted my retreat. " No worries at all, "a stranger said in a comforting tone. "I' ll cover this. "
I turned to see a woman with kind eyes and a warm smile, holding out her card to the cashier. She had a cart full of her own groceries, yet here she was, offering to pay for a stranger's mistake.
" Are you sure?"I asked, my voice filled with a mix of gratitude and disbelief.
" Absolutely, " she replied. " But I' ll need something from you in return. "
" Anything, "I said, ready to do whatever it took to repay her kindness.
" Promise me you' ll pay it forward, " she said, her gaze (目光) meeting mine with a sincerity that touched my heart.
I nodded, my promise as firm as the resolve to make a difference. "I promise. "
As I left the store with my groceries, I couldn't shake the feeling that I had just been given a gift—a chance to make a difference in someone else's life.
Months later, I found myself driving through a quiet countryside, the scenery passing by peacefully. Up ahead, I noticed a lo ne figure by the roadside, a backpacker with her thumb out, trying to ask for a ride. Car after car sped past, leaving her in their dust. Something about her lo ne figure touched my heart.
