It's easy to see how to help some people， but what about those whose needs are not so obvious？This story may have happened not long ago—but it was a lesson which has stayed with me and helped me ever since.
It was Thanksgiving and I was volunteering with my parents at a shelter for the needy (贫穷的). We stood behind the counter serving hot food to whoever came in. Most of our diners looked like they had been having hard times， their clothes were worn out and dirty. In short， they looked needy！
Then， a man came in， who looked anything but needy.He was well dressed， he wore an expensive suit.I wondered what he was doing there and my jaw (下巴) dropped in amazement when he joined the line for food.The closer he came to my service station the more I muttered (嘟囔).What was this man doing？Surely he wasn't going to take food， which was meant for those who were really in need！
Then my mother quietly took me to one side.She said， “You have assumed that the needs of the people who come here must be purely physical hunger， inadequate shelter， clothing， etc.And this gentleman doesn't seem to have any of those problems.But what if his needs are emotional？What if he needs comfort， friends， or just to be among other human beings？”
Her words hit me like a ton of bricks！I felt like I should apologize to the man — but I didn't.
About a week later the shelter received a large donation from an anonymous source.I can't help but wonder if it came from that man.
Now， whenever I meet someone I remember my mother's lesson and try to send kindness and blessings their way， regardless of how they look.
Needs aren't always visible.But kindness always makes a difference.
