When an earthquake
hit a small town, many houses fell down. After the earthquake, all the
newspapers reported many stories about some of the families who were in
trouble.
One Sunday, when I
was reading a newspaper, a special picture touched (触动)me. It gave the clothing sizes of
each family member. I thought that
this would be a good chance to teach my children to help those who were
less lucky than themselves. I said to my seven-year-old twins, Brad and
Brett, and three-year-old Meghan. “We have so much, and these poor people
now have nothing. We’ll share what we have with them.”
I filled a box with
foods and clothes. While I was doing this, I encouraged the boys to choose
their toys and donate some of their less favourite things. Meghan
watched quietly as the boys took out their old toys and games and put them
together. Then she walked away. A few minutes later she came back with Lucy,
her much-loved doll. She put the doll on top of the other toys. “Oh，dear,” I said, “You don’t have to give
Lucy. You love her so much.” Meghan said, “Lucy makes me happy,
Mommy. Maybe she’ll make another little girl happy, too.”
I looked at Meghan
for a moment. She taught me a lesson. It’s easy to give something that we
don’t want any more, but it’s harder to give what we cherish (珍爱), isn’t?
