a few things when he noticed an old lady following him.

"Pardon me," she said. "I'm sorry if my staring at you

has made you feel uncomfortable. It's just that you look

just like my son, who died recently."

"I'm very sorry," replied the young man, "is there

anything I can do for you?"

"Yes," she said, "as I'm leaving, would you say

'Goodbye, mother?' It would make me feel so much better."

"Sure," answered the young man.
