An old man lived alone in his old house．He hardly ever came out．He wouldn't communicate with others．

One day，a little boy selling magazines knocked at the man's door．The door slowly opened．"Uh，sir，would you like to buy a magazine?" The old man just stared（[盯着） at the boy．The boy looked inside and saw lots of dog sculptures（雕塑品） on the table．"Do you collect dogs?" the boy asked．"Yes，they are all my family．" Hearing this，the boy understood and felt sorry for him．"I have a magazine here about dogs．It's perfect for you．" The old man was ready to close the door and said，"No，I don't need any magazines．"

The boy suddenly had an idea．He had a dog sculpture，which did not mean much to him．After a while，the boy returned with a box．The old man shouted this time，"I told you no magazines!" "I bring you a gift．" The boy opened the box and handed him the sculpture．The old man got surprised because no One had given him a gift．From that day on，the old man started coming out of his house．He and the boy became friends．The boy even brought his pet dog to visit the old man every week．
