I took my 7-year-old daughter to a restaurant by tho heach for lunch. When we arrived,I saw Jojo,a rich man in the hotel business. We sat down to chat in an open-air cafe. Suddenly,our conversation was inter rupted (打断) by a stranger,who politely asked to speak to me alone.

  We stood a bit away from my table. Usually,peo?ple who asked to talk to me told me their opinions on the shows I hosted (主持) .But he was different. He said, "I'm James,the father of a 7-year-old girl who's very sick. Doctors have said that if she is treated in the UK,she will probably become better. I don't have much money. Can you please help me?"

  I looked into the man's eyes,which were filled with tears. Then I went to sit back at the table. Jojo asked, " What's wrong? Your face changed. " I told him why.

  I thought of James and his daughter all the week?end. I even thought of doing a special TV show to col?lect money for the sick girl. On Monday morning,I was at the office when Jojo walked in,which was surpris?ing because Jojo was so busy. I never thought he would have time to come and see me at the studio (演播室) . With a checkbook in hand,he said, " Please call James and tell him I'll pay for his sick daughter's treat?ment. I've been married for 35 years,but I'm not lucky enough to have a child. I love children and want to help this child."I picked up the phone to call James.

  The daughter is living a normal life now and Jojo visits her sometimes. I'm so happy that there're so many good people in this world.
