A young man who grew up very poor was travelling across the country, trying to make a new start for himself. Along the way he had completely run out of money and was forced to spend the night in his car. This continued until one morning, after a week of sleeping in his car, he walked nervously into a restaurant and ordered a big breakfast.
After eating his first good meal in weeks, he found himself lying to the waiter, telling him he had lost his wallet. The waiter, who was also the owner, walked behind the chair where the young man had been sitting. He bent down, and came up with a $ 20 bill that looked as if it had fallen on the floor. "Sir, you must have dropped this," the owner said. The young man couldn't believe his luck! He quickly paid for the breakfast, left a tip, bought gas with the change, and headed West.
On the way out of town, he began to understand what that fellow did. "Maybe nobody dropped the money at all. Maybe that fellow just knew I was in trouble and he helped me in a way that didn't embarrass me. So I just made a promise to help other people if I can.
Later, he worked very hard and became a rich man. Now, he lives near Kansas City. Each year he gives away thousands of dollars. He is known as the "Secret Santa" because at Christmas time each year, he personally hands money out to those on the street and at restaurants.

It was one o'clock in the morning. In the Ritesville town art gallery, a window opened and a man came in. His name was Harry Black, and he was a thief. It was dark in the gallery, but Harry had a light. He looked around the room for a painting.
"There it is!" he said.
Harry moved quickly across the room. He stood and looked at the painting.
"A million dollars for this " he thought. "I don't understand it."
But he took a knife from his coat. Then he took the painting very, very slowly from its frame. Harry went back across the room to the window, but he walked into a table. There was a beautiful blue glass vase on the table. It fell onto the floor and broke into pieces. He ran across the pieces of glass to the window.
He had rented a room in Mrs. Allen's house. He went quietly up to his room and closed the door. In his room, Harry took the painting from his bag. He wrapped it in a newspaper and put it under his bed.
In the morning, Janey Allen was putting old bottles into a box. On the TV, a reporter was at the Ritesville town art gallery. He was talking about the lost painting and the broken glass vase. Janey glanced at a photo of a blue vase.
At that time Harry wasn't in his room. He was talking on his telephone. Janey was looking for old newspapers. Every Friday morning, she took them from every room in the house. Then later, the newspaper recycling truck arrived.
Janey opened Harry's door and looked into his room. She always took his old newspapers or bottles for recycling. She found a newspaper under Harry's bed. She put the old newspaper into a black recycling box. Then she ran from the house and saw the truck. "Wait!" she said. And she quickly gave the box to one of the men.
Harry came back to the house. He saw the recycling truck, and he saw Janey.
"The newspaper! Oh, no!" Harry cried.
