                                                        Caring a lot, in a quiet way
      The situation seemed hopeless.
       From the day he started at my junior-high,Willard. P. Franklin lived in his own world,
shutting out his classmates and me,his teacher. My attempts at establishing a friendly
relationship with him were met with complete indifference (冷淡). Even a "Good Morning
Willard" received only a very low grunt (咕哝).I could see that his classmates got on no
better. Willard was completely a loner who seemed to have no desire or need to break his barrier (障碍) of silence.
      Shortly after the Thanksgiving holiday,we received word of the annual Christmas collection of money
for the less fortunate people in our school district.
       "Christmas is a season of giving,"I told my students. "There are a few students in the school who might not have a happy holiday season. By contributing to our Christmas collection,you will help buy food,
clothing and toys for these needy people. We start the collection tomorrow. "
      When I called for the contribution the next day,I discovered that almost everyone had forgotten,
except Willard P. Franklin. The boy dug deep into his pants pockets as he walked up to my desk.
Carefully,he dropped two quarters into the small container.
      "I don't need any milk for lunch,"he said very quietly. For a moment,just a moment,he smiled. Then
he
turned and walked back to his desk.
      That night,after school,I took our meager contribution to the school principal (校长). I couldn't help
sharing the incident that had taken place.
      "I may be wrong,but I believe Willard might be getting ready to become a part of the world around
him,"I told the principal.
       "Yes,I believe it sounds hopeful,"he nodded. "And I think we might do well to have him share a bit
of his world with us.I just received a list of the poor families in our school who most need help through
the Christmas collection. Here,take a look at it. "
        As I gazed down to read,I discovered Willard P. Franklin and his family were the top name on the
list.
