I still remember that day.I was waiting to get some 1 for shopping in a bank.Among the crowd,I noticed a little boy carrying some sunglasses in one hand and a big bag in 2 .
The boy was about 10 years old.He was walking around the people inside the 3 and asked them to buy his sunglasses.But 4 would buy any from him.He tried from one person to another.From the look on his face,I know he would not 5 anyway.
Now,I decided to have a 6 with him.I went up and asked,“Do you go to school?”He nodded his head.Then I continued,“Why do you 7 sunglasses?”He said nothing.I gave him $20 and said that I was not in 8 of the sunglasses but he could keep the money.To my 9 ,his face changed a lot,which is still in my memory today.I didn't know 10 to say next.Then he replied,“Either you buy sunglasses or you 11 back the money.I don't need your pity.”I felt very 12 for what I did,and I told him that I would buy two pairs.
I took these sunglasses home and kept 13 myself,“Did such a young boy need to do it for his self-respect (自尊)?”He could 14 take the $20 and left.But he chose to sell his sunglasses and get the money not because of others' 15 .I will remember this lesson forever.
