“But I feel good doing this!” the little boy’s voice rang in my ears when I entered the mall. He stood raising
for cancer research. In the cold wind, he pulled his hat down over his ears. He warmed one hand in his pocket and held a list with the other hand. I noticed him greeting the people passing by
gloves on his hands.
I checked my purse but I didn’t find any change. I was
ready to give money because I wished cancer could be cured (治愈) one day.
“I’ll bring you some money when I returned” I
the little boy.
“Thank you!” he smiled and he seemed almost
in the cold air. I suggested he come inside the mall, but he said, “The guard there said
is allowed to raise money for charities (慈善) in the mall. But I feel good doing this here. It’s OK.”
I did my shopping and
about buying something for him. Finally, I bought a pair of gloves, brown ones. The cashier (收银员) felt curious when I
the boy’s words “But I feel good doing this!”
The boy still stood where he had been. I offered some money to him and
in the list that he handed to me. Then he told me that his best friend George had leukemia (白血病). He did this in order to help him out of
.
With tears full of my eyes, I put the gloves that I bought for him into his hands.
“Will the cancer research give you something to thank you for doing this?”
“Oh yes!” the boy said and his eyes
up with joy, “They sure do! Now I can stand here much
than I expected!”
“What do you receive then?” I asked. He answered with a smile, “I get another new, empty list.”
