Nearly thirty years ago I was a trainee engineer based in Liverpool. I was hundreds of miles from home, but I had a nice place to live in, wasn’t overworked, had a good bunch of friends and plenty of money in my pocket.
One Saturday morning I decided to walk into Liverpool city centre and buy myself something. I didn’t need anything. I was just going to spend some money! The walk was about four miles and took me through Toxteth, an area which two years later would erupt into rioting(暴乱,骚乱) , largely because of the poverty of the place.
I stopped in a store to buy myself some sweets for the walk. While I was making up my mind which one to choose, the door opened and in walked this “ragamuffin” (邋遢的人) . It looked like she might have been four years old at the most She was wearing a summer dress and sandals (凉鞋) even though it was a bitterly cold day, and she was not clean.
She walked up to the counter, reached up and placed a fifty pence coin on the glass. Then, the proudly announced that she had saved this up for her little brother’s birthday and she wanted to buy him a teddy bear and she wanted that one there. The woman behind the counter told the little girl the teddy bear cost more than 50 pence. The girl tried another one, and another one, and another one.
By this time I had been keeping an eye on this. I knew that none of the bears could be bought for 50 pence. I also knew that I could easily buy the best bear there with the money I was going to waste that day, but did I want to encourage a little girl to take money from strangers

故事山分析
开端:“我” 在利物浦工作,生活不错,周六准备进城花钱。
发展:“我” 在商店看到一个穿着单薄、不整洁的小女孩想用 50 便士给弟弟买生日礼物泰迪熊,但钱不够。

结局(待续写):“我” 最终决定帮助小女孩,完成她的心愿,展现人与人之间的温暖与善良。
伏笔以及在续写中的回应
小女孩的穿着与寒冷天气不符:续写中可以体现 “我” 看到她的穿着,心生怜悯,更坚定帮助她的决心,如 “看着她在寒风中瑟瑟发抖的单薄身影,我不再犹豫,决定一定要帮她实现心愿” 。
小女孩说为弟弟生日存钱买熊:这在续写中促使 “我” 采取行动,买下熊作为弟弟的生日礼物,如 “想到她对弟弟满满的爱,我不想让她失望,于是迅速决定买下那只熊” 。
“我” 有足够的钱买下最好的熊:在续写中得以实现,“我” 用这笔钱帮小女孩买到了熊,如 “我毫不犹豫地掏出钱包,用准备随意消费的钱买下了那只她心仪的熊” 。
“我” 的犹豫:续写中通过内心挣扎后的决定来回应,如 “经过一番内心的挣扎,我意识到帮助她传递爱比什么都重要,于是不再犹豫” 。
托克斯泰斯地区的贫困背景:在续写中可侧面体现小女孩的不易,以及 “我” 帮助她的意义,如 “想到这个贫困地区孩子们的艰难生活,我觉得帮助她是我义不容辞的责任” 。

While I hesitated, the girl announced to the world, “Oh well, I’ll just give him my bear then.” Her words hit me like a thunderbolt. I saw the disappointment in her eyes, but also the unwavering love for her little brother. The people around us were silent for a moment, and then some began to whisper sympathetically. I stood there, my heart pounding. I thought about my own carefree shopping plan and her earnest wish for her brother. Finally, I made up my mind.
“Excuse me,” I called out, holding the wrapped bear in my hands. “This is for your brother. It’s his birthday present from me.” The girl looked at me in surprise, her eyes wide open. “Really ” she asked in a trembling voice. I nodded and smiled. She took the bear, hugged it tightly, and then threw her arms around me. “Thank you so much!” she exclaimed. At that moment, I felt a warmth spreading through my body. I realized that this simple act of kindness had made my day far more meaningful than any shopping could have.

While I hesitated, the girl announced to the world, “Oh well, I’ll just give him my bear then.” Her voice was filled with both disappointment and determination. The store clerk looked at her with pity, and a few customers shook their heads sadly. I felt a lump in my throat. I thought about how much I took for granted in my life, while this little girl was trying so hard to make her brother happy with her meager savings. I couldn't stand by any longer.
“Excuse me,” I called out, holding the wrapped bear in my hands. “I heard you wanted this for your brother. Here, it’s yours.” The girl stared at me, as if she couldn't believe her ears. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she bit her lip. “You are so kind,” she said softly. I patted her head and said, “You are a very loving sister. I'm sure your brother will love this bear.” Watching her skip out of the store with the bear in her arms, I felt a deep sense of satisfaction. It made me understand that the greatest joy in life comes from helping others.

第一段续写
While I hesitated, the girl announced to the world, “Oh well, I’ll just give him my bear then.” Her voice, though small, was filled with a kind of determination that tugged at my heartstrings. She carefully put the fifty - pence coin back into her pocket, and her little shoulders slumped slightly. The store seemed to grow quiet, and I could feel the eyes of others in the store, filled with a mix of pity and helplessness. At that moment, I thought about how much joy that teddy bear could bring to her little brother, and how disappointed he would be if he didn't get it. I also thought about the harsh life these kids in this poor area might be leading. Finally, I made up my mind.

Then, a huge smile spread across her face. “Thank you, thank you so much!” she exclaimed, jumping up and down. She took the bear and hugged it tightly, as if it was the most precious thing in the world. Watching her run out of the store happily, I felt a sense of contentment. I realized that this small act of kindness had made my day far more meaningful than any random shopping could have.
