It was summer and I had gotten one of the few jobs a 14-year-old can find—working at Burger King，a fast－food restaurant．It  31  wasn’t a good job，but it meant money，  32  was something I needed.

One day，I was working behind the front counter，taking  33  .The customers were coming and going，and the woman who  34  didn’t seem any different from most others. She ordered her meal and I told her the total. As she searched  35  her purse to find some change，the woman soon  36  that she was about a dollar short.  “I’m  37  to say this, but I guess I won’t be able to make my purchase 38，”she said sadly.

That’s when I had the idea of 39 the difference for her. She refused at first，but after I 40, she agreed. She thanked me and moved to the end of the counter to  41  her order. I continued with my work and thought  42  more of it.

About an hour later  43  had slowed down and I was waiting for my next customer. Then I glanced over towards the  44  and saw the same woman whom I’d helped with the money entering again．I  45  recognized her.

She walked straight up to me and said，“I want to thank you again for what you did. You see，I’m a diabetic(糖尿病患者),and  46  I need to eat something right away．That’s  47  I came in earlier．If you hadn’t helped me as you did，I might have fainted(晕倒). Thank you．”

She  48  me two dollars, twice I’d given her.

My husband and children think they are very lucky that they are living and that it’s Christmas again. They can’t see that we live on a dirty street in a dirty house among people who aren’t much good. But Johnny and children can’t see this. What a pity it is that our neighbours have to make happiness out of all this dirt. I decided that my children must get out of this. The money that we’ve saved isn’t nearly enough.

The McGaritys have money but they are so proud. They look down upon the poor. The McGarity girl just yesterday stood out there in the street eating from a bag of candy(糖果)while a ring of hungry children watched her. I saw those children looking at her and crying in their hearts; and when she couldn’t eat any more she threw the rest down the sewer(下水道). Why, is it only because they have money ? There is more to happiness than money in the world, isn’t there?

Miss Jackson who teaches at the Settlement House isn’t rich, but she knows things. She understands people. Her eyes look straight into yours when she talks with you. She can read your mind. I’d like to see the children be like Miss Jackson when they grow up.
