A
One day we were out for a picnic. When lunchtime came, Susan and I headed for a hot dog stand (摊). But when Susan took out her money, the man made us feel surprised. “The food looks a little overdone,” he said, “so you don’t have to pay me.” We thanked him and began to enjoy our food. But as we talked and ate, I noticed a man sitting alone, in dirty clothes. He was a homeless man.
When Susan and I went to throw away the lunch bag，I heard a voice ask，“There isn’t any food in that bag, is there?”
It was the homeless man. “No.” I answered. He seemed very hungry.
Suddenly Susan said, 'I’ll be right back. Please wait a minute.” I watched curiously (好奇地）as she went across to the hot dog stand. Then I realized what she was doing. She bought a hot dog, crossed back, and gave the man the food.
When she came back to me, Susan said, “I was just passing on the kindness that someone gave to me.”
That day I learnt how generosity (慷慨）can go farther than the person you give to. By giving, you teach others how to give too. You never know what happiness a simple act of care will bring.
