| It seemed hopeless. From the first day he entered my junior-high classroom, Willard Franklin lived in his own world. Shortly after the Thanksgiving holiday, we started the Christmas collection of money for the poor people in our school. "Christmas is a season of giving," I told my students, " By contribution (捐献) to our Christmas collection, you will help to buy food, clothes and toys for the poor people. We will start the collection tomorrow. " When I called for(呼吁) the contributions the next day, I discovered that almost everyone had forgotten except Willard Franklin. The boy walked slowly to my desk. Carefully, he dropped some money into the small box. "I don't need milk for lunch. " He said in a low voice. For a moment, just a moment, he smiled. Then he turned and walked back to his desk. That night, after school, I took our contributions to the headmaster. And I told him the story. "I may be wrong, but I believe Willard might be ready to become a part of the world around him," I said. "Yes," the headmaster nodded, "We must do something to help him. Look. Here is a list of the poor families in our school who most need help through the Christmas collection. " To my surprise, Willard Franklin and his family were the top names on the list. |
