I remember one Thanksgiving when our family had no money and no food, and someone came knocking on our door. A man was1 there with a huge box of food, a giant turkey and even some2to cook it in. I couldn’t3it. My dad demanded, “Who are you? Where are you from?” The stranger announced, “I’m here because a friend of yours knows you’re in need and that you wouldn’t accept4help, so I’ve brought this for you. Have a great Thanksgiving.” My father said, “No, no, we5 accept this.” The stranger replied, “You don’t have6” , closed the door and left.
Obviously that experience had a profound impact(深刻影响)on my life. I7myself that someday I would do well enough financially8 I could do the same thing for other people. By the time I was eighteen I had created my Thanksgiving ritual(习惯). I would go out9 and buy enough food for one or two10. Then I would dress like a delivery boy, go to the11 neighborhood and just knock on a12 . I always13 a note that explained my Thanksgiving experience14a kid. The note said, “All that I ask15is that you take good enough care of16 so that someday you can do the same thing for someone else.” I have received more from this annual ritual than I have from any amount of17 I’ve ever earned.
Years ago I was in New York City with my new wife during Thanksgiving. She was sad because we were not with our family.18she would be home decorating the house for Christmas, but we were19 in a hotel room. When I told her what I always did on Thanksgiving, she got excited.
We packed enough food for seven families for thirty days and went to buildings where half a dozen people lived in one room with no electricity and no heat in winter surrounded by rats, cockroaches(蟑螂)and the smell of urine(尿). It was both an20realization that people lived in this way and a truly fulfilling experience to make even a small difference.
