Hi!I’m Maria. I have two boys. Tom is three years old and Tim is one year old. My family moved into an apartment a few months ago. Our house is on the second floor. But our neighbor downstairs complains at least once a day and we have got her note,sayingu Please stop running and jumping on the floor."

      Since then,I have to do everything to keep the boys busy or out of the apartment during the day,hut this can’t stop my kids from making noise. They are just children under the age of four. Now the lady downstairs often bangs the walls when my boys run and jump in the room.

     This is a story of a man who worked in a big factory. I got to know him many years ago,but I never paid any attention to him. He always wore an old red hat and carried a rubbish bag. He usually spent his break time and his lunchtime walking around in that old big factory to collect the unused tins.

     Today,I was fixing a machine in the factory when this ‘‘tin man” came with his bag. As usual,he picked up the tins.My manager was standing there to watch him. He asked the“ tin man” what he’s going to (lo with those tins. I never thought about this question,because I always thought that he’d sell those tins for money. The“tin man”answered ,“I will give these tins to my neighbor,because he is ill and he cannot work.” I was so surprised to hear that,so I asked him ,“ You collect all those tins just to help your neighbor?” “ I know this does not help much”’ he said. “ But I will try my best to help him.”

     At that time,I found myself standing in front of a great man. This“ tin man” only wore a T-shirt and an old red hat and carried a rubbish bag,but he was a great man.
