题目内容
My father and I started our morning by moving quickly into the local store. I waited in the line at the Starbucks counter while he shopped around to pick up a few things.
As I was starting there I become aware of an elderly women, with untidy hair, wearing layers upon layers of old clothing, hunchbacked (弯背的) behind me in line. She had a few things for washing and seemed to want the Starbucks cashier to ring up since that queue was shorter than the queues in the store.
At some point I became aware of her edging (慢慢挪动) closer behind me — closer than I was comfortable with! I instinctively (本能地) placed a hand over my purse and drew it close to me. My fear and imagination raced creating wild stories about this homeless woman who might try to steal from me.
Then it was my turn to order. As the cashier rang up my total, I discovered I was 67 cents short. I called my father but he was hard of hearing. He asked me to repeat what I said but he still couldn’t make me out. At that point, a long, grey arm, with holes in its sleeves, reached over from behind me. She laid 67 cents out on the counter, saying, “Here, we all need some help sometimes.”
I was stunned! Here was a woman who clearly had very little to give and was in great need herself. I had judged her wrongly and she had offered to reach out to help me!
What an amazing gift and lesson this woman gave me about judging others! Thank you, God!

Everyone needs to understand something about money: Where it comes from, how to save it and how to spend it wisely. Too many parents don’t take time to teach their children about money, and as a resulut, many of those children don’t know how to deal with money when they grow up.
When should parents begin teaching their children about money? Experts agree that it’s never too early. The more children learn about money, the more wisely they will be able to deal with money as they grow older. To begin with, parents can teach kids how to count money.
Next, parents can teach kids to save money. For example, your children want a new bike. You can teach them to save part of their pocket money for that bike, while still keeping some money for ice cream and movies. In this way they will begin to understand the meaning of saving.
Also it’s never too early to teach your children different ways to make money. For example, they can wash cars, clean gardens, look after babies and so on. Sit down with your children and talk with them about some ways they can make money. You’ll be surprised and glad at the effort they will begin making.
Teach your children about money when they’re young and their future will be brighter.
