Question

【題目】 I’ll never forget the Easter in 1946. I was twelve, my little sister, Ocy, was ten and my older sister, Darlene, was fourteen. We lived at home with our mother, and the four of us knew what we should do without dad. My dad had died five years before leaving Mom with no money and three school-aged kids to raise．

By 1946, a month before Easter, the pastor（牧師） of our church announced that a special holiday offering would be taken to help a poor family. We talked about what we could do. We decided to buy fifty pounds of potatoes and lived on them for a month. This would allow us to save twenty dollars of our grocery money for the offering. Then we thought that if we turned our electric lights off as much as possible, we'd save money on that month's electric bill．

The night before Easter, we were so excited that we could hardly sleep. We didn’t care that we wouldn’t have new clothes for Easter; we had seventy dollars for the sacrificial offering. We could hardly wait to get to the church!

Finally, we sat in church proudly. When the offering began, mom put in a ten-dollar bill and each of us kids put in a twenty-dollar bill. We sang all the way home from church. Over lunch, mom had a surprise for us. She had bought a dozen eggs, and we had boiled Easter eggs with our fried potatoes!

Later that afternoon the pastor dropped by. Mom went to the door, talked with him for a moment, and then came back with an envelope in her hand. We asked what it was, but she didn’t say a word. She opened the envelope and out fell a bunch of money．
