Passage 1
It was a rainy day and I was walking down the street feeling comfortable and happy.
I wanted to do something kind for someone else without any reason and purpose, almost
as if I was just trying to spread the abundance (充足) of love I was receiving. It was
then that I saw a teenage girl dressed in tattered clothes, getting soaked(湿透). She
wasn't wearing any shoes or socks. The rain wet her skin through the holes in her clothes
and she was making her way through the garbage, trying to find something that would
be of use to her.
I walked towards her and told her to wait for me there while I ran home to get her
something. On getting home, I took off my shoes, which I really loved, wrapped them
up in a plastic cover and ran to give them to the teenage girl on the street.
The girl looked surprised as if she was not used to this kind of kindness. She
thanked me in a trembling (颤抖的) voice.
A famous musician who lives down the street corner stopped his car and smiled
when he saw what happened. The two watchmen who saw me do this talked and gave
me friendly looks.
Although I had to wear my dad's shoes, I was satisfied even if they were a bit large
for my feet, because I knew the girl would walk comfortably wearing the shoes. That
day I learned that letting go off the little things we own can be a big help to others.
