Joyce was born in a poor family. Next Friday would be her mother’s birthday. Joyce wanted to buy something for her mother, but she had no money. As an 8-year-old girl, she couldn’t do part-time jobs. What could she do to make enough money for her mother’s birthday present?

Suddenly she had an idea. Usually, she would go straight to school, but this morning, she didn’t. She walked along the streets, picking up cardboard(纸板), plastic(塑料)bottles and cans(易拉罐). When it was time for school, she hid them in the backyard and ran to school as quickly as possible.

Eight days later, she decided to sell all the things she had collected because the next day was her mother’s birthday. She had to sell them and buy a birthday present for her mother. In the shop, she bought a beautiful hair pin for her mother.

When her mother got the present, she said with tears in her eyes,“This is the best present I’ve ever received.”
