   It was Mother's Day morning last year and I was doing shopping at our local supermarket with my five-year-old son, Tenyson. As we were leaving, we found that only minutes earlier an elderly woman had fallen over at the entrance and had hit her head on the concrete. Her husband was with her, but there was blood everywhere and the woman was embarrassed and clearly in shock.

  Walking towards the scene, Tenyson became very upset about what had happened to the couple. He said to me, "Mum, it's not much fun falling over in front of everyone.”

   At the front of the supermarket, a charity (慈善)group had set up a stand selling cooked sausages and flowers to raise funds. Tenyson suggested that we should buy the lady a flower. "It will make her feel better," he said. I was amazed that he'd come up with this sweet idea. So we went over to the flower seller and asked her if we could buy a flower for the lady to cheer her up. "Just take it," she replied. "I can't take your money for such a wonderful gesture.，，

   By now paramedics (急救人员)had arrived, and were attending to the injured woman. As we walked up to her, my son became intimidated by all the blood and medical equipment. He said he was just too scared to go up to her.

Instead I gave the flower to the woman's husband and told him, "My son was very upset for your wife and wanted to give her this flower to make her feel better. "

   At that, the old man started crying and said, "Thank you so much. You have a wonderful son. Happy Mother's Day to you.“

   The man then bent down and gave his wife the flower, telling her who it was from. Though badly hurt and shaken, the old lady looked up at Tenyson with love in her eyes and gave him a little smile.

A

   Every year, as the Spring Festival draws near, most Chinese people will get excited to make preparations for the most important festival and make plans for the winter break. It is a little like Christ?mas in the United States, but there are some differences between the two festivals.

   Both the major Chinese and the major Western holidays come during the cold season, and special food is expected. In Western countries, cookies and cakes begin just after Thanksgiving in November and show up everywhere. Turkey, potatoes and other food come later. Similar things happen in China. Entering lunar Decem?ber, most families will make shopping plans for the coming big day and food is cer?tainly one of the most important things to be considered. At the end of the month, both parents in each family will be very busy―the father is busy buying food while the mother is busy cooking.

   A deeper similarity (相似处)is tradition. Christmas, as the word "Christ" sug?gests, began as a holiday to celebrate the birthday of Jesus Christ. Many people pray (祈祷)on this day. In China, people living in cities or towns, though they don't plan to sow seeds (播种)this month, still celebrate on the big day for farm?ers.

Followers of both holidays are also different from each other. While Chinese people travel to the homes of elder relatives, Americans usually call or send cards. Westerners prefer Christmas carols to fireworks. In Christmas, many family gifts come together instead of one by one, since adults may have only one day free to cel?ebrate.

But the most curious difference is about students. Chinese students going home for the Spring Festival sometimes report that they get bored by the end of the vacation, yet American students seldom get bored around Christmas and Western New Year.

Not everyone enjoys classic holiday traditions. Students in Western countries may get upset, as too much homework, travel complexities (复杂性)or bad family relations may destroy the short holiday season. In China, more and more college students choose to travel or work during the winter holiday instead of going home to stay with their families. It's against the tradition but many people accept it.
