I woke up this morning. There is an empty feeling that I have had so many times before and it seems to be coming back into my mind. What is it? I can't figure it out. I got ready for work. On the way I decide to stop and get a cheese from the little shop just down the road. I have never been there before but I was hungry and it would be 5 hours before I got off work. The owner of the store took my order. He asked me what I wanted and I told him I heard he made a great cheese. He seemed pleased to hear that. As I was sitting in the small space,there was an elderly gentleman finishing his breakfast. He paid the waitress, received this change and made a small joke. As he turned to get up, which was quite a difficult feat for this gentleman, he looked over at me. I gave a small smile. He looked again in my direction for a moment and said to me, "Has anyone ever told you, you have the most beautiful brown eyes?" Seeing as I have blue eyes, I can't say I have ever heard that before. I humored him and said, "No, I can't say anyone has ever told me that before." He smiled, and said,"Well since they are blue you wouldn't have heard that, but you have beautiful blue eyes." I laughed and said thank you very much. He began to tell me a few one liner jokes so I smiled and laughed at his jokes. He tried to get up to leave again and looked at me and said"Your smile really brightens a room, do you know that?"I said,"Thank you very much." He proceeded to get up, which took him quite some time. As he got up he said,"Take care of that smile." I felt a sense of comfort wash over me and I reflected on my morning and that empty feeling I had. For a moment in time it seemed to be filled. By saying"since they are blue", the old man meant"  _  ".
because they feel cold because they are sad because they have blue eyes because they are hungry
