One afternoon, as I was driving back home, I stopped at a busy intersection as the traffic light turned red. I waited patiently for the light to turn green, so that I could continue my journey.
Suddenly, out of nowhere, an old woman appeared and started asking for money. That day, I had unknowingly switched off the air conditioner in the car and my window was down. The old woman was standing very close to my car. As she begged for alms(施舍物), I closely observed her weather- beaten face, which had lots of wrinkles on it. Her eyes showed lots of sadness and her whole body was shaking. I sensed that this elderly lady had seen some incredibly hard times in her life and at this time there was no one to look after her, which forced her to beg in the streets.
