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.
