A
Today,I felt terrible.My head was full of problems,burdens and confusion.I decided to take a walk even though I didn't know where I would go.
The most extraordinary thing happened when I was on this walk.
I saw an old man sitting on a chair.He was a seller of secondhand shoes.I thought he looked at least seventy years old.He seemed so tired and nobody was buying his shoes.I wanted to give him something but I had not brought anything with me.
Then,a little girl came toward him.I heard the child say, “Grandfather,may I polish your shoes?”That old man took pity on her and he gave her a shoe to polish.
The girl said,“I polish the shoe because I need money to buy my brother a new school uniform.”
I heard this and tears came to my eyes.The old man answered,“Oh,little girl.Just stop doing this.Come with me.”Then they walked to a market and I followed them behind.There he bought her a school uniform.
The girl said,“Thank you so much.May God bless you.”Then she left,leaving the old man smiling there.I was moved and stopped him,whispering in his ear,“You are a hero!Thank you for your kindness!”
At this moment,my own sadness disappeared and was chased away by the light of this kind act.I began realizing that I have a lot to be thankful for.I hope,some day,I can show my appreciation of what I have by following the example of the old man who only had a little,and shared it beautifully with someone who had nothing.
