A
Thirty years ago I was studying in a college in Liverpool which was hundreds of miles from home, but I had a nice place to live and plenty of money in my pocket.
One Saturday morning I decided to walk into Liverpool city centre and buy myself something. I didn't need anything, and I was just going to spend some money!
I stepped into a store to buy myself some sweets. While I was there the door opened and in walked this little girl. She looked older than her age. She was wearing a summer dress even though it was a bitterly cold day.
She walked up to the counter, and placed a fifth pence coin on the glass. Then, she proudly announced, she had saved this up for her little brother's birthday and she wanted to buy him a teddy bear (玩具熊).The woman behind the counter told the little girl the teddy cost was more than 50 pence.
I knew that none of the bears on display could be bought for 50 pence. I also knew that I could easily buy the best bear there with the money I was going to waste that day-but did I want to encourage a little girl to take money from strangers?
While I watched the little girl turned. “Oh well,” she announced to the world, “I'll just give him mine then.”
I didn't forget her words “I'll just give him mine.” She was going to give her litte brother her teddy, probably the only teddy she had!
If I meet with this kind of little girl today, I will help her with all that I have. “I'll just give him mine.” Perfect words! I will remember the words forever. Days like that can change the course of a life.
