 An older woman was   44  , sitting on the floor. In her   45   Arabic dress, she reminded me of my grandmother.

   “   46   to her,” the flight agent urged. “We told her the flight was going to be late, and she did this."

To my amazement, no one    58    . It was like a party. The traveler from Argentina, the mom from California, the lovely woman from Laredo — we were all smiling, enjoying the same   59   .

I looked around and thought, this is the world I want to live in. One with no   60  . Everyone can be happy anywhere.
