Years ago, I drove into a service station to get some gas. It was a beautiful day, and I was feeling great. As I walked into the station to ___21___ the gas, the owner said to me, "How do you feel?" That seemed like a ___22___ question, but I felt fine and told him ___23___.
"You don't look well," he replied. This ___24___ me completely by surprise. A little less ___25___, I told him that I had never felt better. Without ___26___, he continued to tell me how bad I looked and that my skin appeared ___27___.
By the time I left the service station, I was feeling a little ___28___. About a block away, I ___29___ to the side of the road to look at my face in the mirror. How did I feel? Was I sick? Was everything all right? By the time I got home, I was beginning to feel a little ill. Did I have hepatitis? Had I ___30___ some rare disease?
The next time I went into that gas station, feeling fine again, I ___31___ what had happened. The place had recently been painted a bright yellow, and the light ___32___ off the walls made everyone inside look as though they had hepatitis! I wondered how many other folks had ___33___ the way I did. I had let one short conversation with a total stranger change my ___34___ for an entire day. He told me I looked sick, and before long, I was ___35___ feeling sick. That single ___36___ observation had a strong effect on the way I felt and ___37___.
A little while later I saw how ___38___ the incident was, although on that day when the man had told me how ill I looked, I was ___39___ frightened. I wonder how many other people that man had told they were ill ___40___ he realized that the service station had had a paint job!
