My two
little daughters and I usually go out and help others on Thursday. Last
Thursday, we were going to buy lunches for the beggars (乞丐) in the street. Then we went to the nearest McDonald's.
I ordered
15 lunches from it and drove my car to hand them out.
We gave
the lunches to the beggars. They were excited. We were happy to see that. Then
we noticed a small, old woman, asking for pocket money. We gave her our last
lunch bag. Before we got into the car, she started to speak to us." No one
has ever done anything like this for me before," she said with a
smile." Well, I'm glad that we were the first," I answered. "So,
when will you cat your lunch?" I asked.
She just
looked at me with her big tired brown eyes and said," Oh, dear, I'm not
going to eat this lunch. You see, I have a little daughter of my own. I usually
can't buy her favourite food. But today she will be happy!"
I don't
know if the kids noticed the tears (泪水) in my eyes. I have asked many
times whether our actions of kindness were too small to change anything. Yet at
that moment, I realised the truth of the words: We cannot do great things — only small things with great love.
