阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。
Jenny was the only child in her family. She had a quarrel with her mother that afternoon and she ran out of the house angrily. She couldn't help weeping（哭泣） sorrowfully（悲伤地） when she thought of the scolding（责骂） from her mother. Having wandered（游荡） aimlessly in the street for hours, she felt a little hungry and wished for something to eat. She stood beside a stand（货摊） for a while, watching the middle-aged seller busy doing his business. However, with no money in hand, she gave a sigh（叹气） and had to leave. The seller behind the stand noticed the young girl and asked, “Hey, girl, you want to have the noodles?” “Oh, yes, but I don't have money on me,” she replied.
“That's nothing. I'll treat you today,” said the man “Come in.” The seller brought her a bowl of noodles, the smell so attractive. As she was eating, Jenny cried silently. “What is it?” asked the man kindly. “Nothing. Actually I was just touched by your kindness!” said Jenny as she wiped（擦拭） her tears. “Even a stranger on the street will give me a bowl of noodles, while my mother drove me out of the house. She showed no care for me. She is so merciless（无情的） compared to a stranger!” Hearing the words, the seller smiled, “Girl, do you really think so? I only gave you a bowl of noodles and you thanked me a lot. But it is your mother who has raised you since you were a baby. Can you number the times she cooked for you? Have you expressed your gratitude（感激） to her?” Jenny sat there, speechless and numb（麻木的） with shock; she remembered her mother's familiar face and weathered （变形）hands. “Why didn't I think of that? A bowl of noodles from a stranger made me feel indebted（感激的）. Why haven't I thanked my mum for what she has done for me?” On the way home, Jenny made up her mind to make an apology to her mother for her rudeness as soon as she arrived home.
