I stopped at a grocery store the other day because I was about to go on a long drive and I wanted to buy my favorite
for the trip. It wasn’t the store I
go to, just one I passed along the way.
As I walked up to the entrance, I
a man and a boy who was about 10 or 12 years old
at the front of the store. The man handed
half-sheets of white paper as customers walked past. I walked up to them with
, wondering what cause they
. As I got closer, I saw that they had two carts (购物车) starting to fill with
.
I said hello and the man greeted me and
me one of the pieces of paper,
that they were collecting donations for the homeless. On the paper was a simple
of food items: peanut butter, noodles, pasta sauce, canned fruits and vegetables. It also included a short story about the boy and his
to collect food donations since the age of 8.
I was really
that someone so young would be so interested in helping others. I told him it was a(n)
idea and that he should be proud of himself. He smiled.
Then, I went inside to get my drink.
, the store didn’t have it.
, I wasn’t upset, because by then I felt I had another mission. I went through the store,
things from the list, then brought them back out to the boy and put them in the cart. They thanked me and offered me a(n)
(candy, I think).
As I walked back to my car, the boy’s well-intentioned spirit
with me. How inspiring to
a young boy with a resolve to do good deeds, and the courage to act on it.
