One winter, three teenagers rushed in and grabbed(强夺) food off the shelves as fast as they could. Clearly, they were not about to pay for it. The man hit the panic button(应急按钮), then went over the counter and locked the front door. The alarm bell rang. Certainly, theThree weren’t going anywhere with their ill-gotten gains(不义之财). Quickly, they dropped theFood and simply crowded together in fear, It was obvious that they were homeless.
After a long silence, the three were told they didn't have to steal even if they were that. hungry "We have food in the back, expired but still safe to eat. If you need food ,you can have some." They were told to pick up that they had dropped and put it back, and then asked to clean out the mess. They were doing just that when the police arrived. The officers were told the situation was under control and the police were no longer necessary.This wasn't what they hadn’t expected.

Soon three “cleaner” people walked out with all the food their arms could hold. They were reminded that, if they needed to come back again, they were to ask and not just grab.
