On a cold winter afternoon．Susan was walking home from a supermarket．She was feeling a little tired，as she was carrying her shopping bags．They were so heavy that she decided to have a rest in the park．She walked towards the gate of the park．She noticed a poor man walking out of a restaurant in front of her．The man was holding a paper bag．He walked to a rubbish bin（箱）and started looking through it．
