The husband began ordering, stuttering (结巴) to a degree I'd never heard before. It was very clear that he had a 7 disorder. I could tell the wife had told her husband very extensively what she wanted, as a(n) 8 for him to practice ordering. It took him quite a while to order. Meanwhile, she was just sitting there, looking proud and 9 despite her husband's endless stuttering.

She could have made the order and made things a lot easier for her husband and avoided the 11 from other tables, but she didn't. However, she supported him and was proud to see him 12 the order.

The whole thing also reminds me that life isn't always 13 for everyone. These rich people seemed to have everything, but they also have 14 they have to face daily. But I've learnt that life isn't about waiting for the storm to 15, it's about learning to dance in the rain.
