Christmas was coming.Everyone was busy for it.I was in the eighth grade

and was helping my father in his toy store.A little boy,five or six years old,came in.He wore a brown dirty old coat.His shoes were worn and one shoelace was torn.He seemed(看起來) to be too poor to afford to buy anything.He looked around the toy section,picked up some toys and carefully put them back in place.

  Dad came downstairs and walked over to the boy.His blue eyes smiled as he asked the boy what he could do for him.The boy said he was looking for a Christmas present for his best friend.I was impressed that Dad treated him with the same respect as he treated any adult.Dad told the boy to take his time to look around.

  After about 20 minutes,the little boy carefully picked up a toy plane,walked up to my dad and said,“How much is it,sir?”

  “How much have you got?”my Dad asked.

  The little boy held out his hand and opened it.His hand was marked with wet lines of dirt from holding his money.In his hand lay $$0.27.The price on the toy plane he'd picked out was $$3.98.

  “That'll exactly be the price.”Dad said as he closed the sale.Dad's reply seems still to be ringing in my ears.I thought about what I'd seen as I wrapped the present.When the little boy walked out of the store,I didn't notice his dirty worn coat or torn shoelace.What I saw was a happy child with a treasure.

  I will never forget what happened that day.

When my son, Mark, was in the third grade, he saved all his pocket money for over three months to buy holiday presents. The third Saturday in December Mark said he had made his list and had twenty dollars in his pocket.
I drove him to a nearby supermarket. Mark picked up a hand basket and went in while I waited and watched in the car. It took Mark over 45 minutes to choose his presents. Finally he came to the checkout counter (交款處) and reached into his pocket ... Mark stood there holding his basket, tears falling down his face.
Then a surprising thing happened. A woman came up to Mark and took him in her arms. “You would help me a lot if you let me pay for you,” said the woman. “It would be the most wonderful gift you could give me. I only ask one day you will pass it on. When you grow up, I would like you to find someone you can help. When you help others, I know you will feel as good about it as I do now.”
Mark took the money, dried his tears and ran back to the checkout counter as fast as he could. That year we all enjoyed our gifts almost as much as Mark enjoyed giving them to us.
I would like to say “thank you” to that very kind woman, and tell her that four years later, Mark went house to house collecting blankets and clothes for the homeless people in the fire. And I want to promise her that Mark will never forget to keep passing it on.
