She couldn't help weeping sorrowfully when she thought of the scolding from her mother. Having wandered aimlessly in the street for hours, she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat, but it was not even possible for her, since she had nothing with her. She stood beside a stand for a while, watching the middle-aged seller busy doing his business. However, with no money in hand, she sighed 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, whose 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 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 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 to her?”
Jenny sat there, speechless and numb with shock; she remembered mother's familiar face and weathered hands. “Why did I not think of that? A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel indebted, but I have never 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.

参考范文
Approaching the doorway, Jenny took a deep breath. Her palms sweating and throat tightening, she missed the days when she was the apple of Mother’s eye. She was so accustomed to accepting everything from Mom that she almost forgot to express timely gratitude. It was her ignorance to Mom’s unconditional love that led to the quarrel. That afternoon, she couldn’t bear the scolding from her mother, and even wandered aimlessly in the street for hours. With an empty stomach, she came across a seller of wisdom, whose words drove her to reflect on their relationship. Luckily, she was determined to admit her fault. “It is never too late to make a sincere apology.” She whispered to herself, head down.
A gentle touch on her hair called her mind back. Raising her head up, Jenny caught sight of a familiar face. It was her beloved lady that looked directly into her eyes with a tender smile. Urged by the force to right the wrong, she spoke up with a firm tone, “Mom, I am deeply sorry for my rudeness. It won’t happen again! I promise! Would you forgive me?” She could feel tears well up in her eyes. “You are always my little girl!” Mom eyed Jenny tenderly. As the setting sun cast a golden glow on both of their faces, they embraced each other tightly. And then, hand in hand, they stepped into the house.
