The little boy turned to the old woman next to him, ‘‘Granny, are you sure I don’t have enough money?’’ She nodded. The little boy was still
36 the doll (洋娃娃) in his hand.
I walked toward him,
37 who he wished to give this doll to. “Sister. She was sure that Santa Claus would bring a doll to her.” I told him that maybe Santa Claus would do so. But he replied to me
38 . “No, Santa Claus(圣诞老人) can’t bring it to her
39 she is now. I have to give the doll to my mommy so that she can give it to my sister when she
40 there. My sister has gone to be with God. Daddy says that Mommy is going to see God very soon too,
41 I thought she could take the doll with her to give it to my sister.’’
The little boy looked
42 at me, “I told Daddy to tell Mommy not to go yet. I need her to wait until I come back from the mall. I
43 she didn’t have to leave me, but Daddy says that she has to go to be with my little sister.” Then he looked
44 at the doll with sad eyes.
I quickly
45 for my wallet. “Let’s check again, just in case you do have enough money for the doll!” “OK. I hope I do have enough.” I added some of my money to
46 without him seeing and we started to count it. There was enough for the doll and
47 some spare money. “Thank you God for giving me enough money!” He looked at me and
48 , “I wanted to have enough money to buy a white rose for my Mommy, but I didn’t dare to ask God
49 too much. But He gave me enough to buy the doll and a white rose. My mommy loves white roses.”
50 I remembered a local newspaper article two days ago, mentioning a drunk man in a truck hit a car
51 by a young woman and a little girl. The little girl
52 right away and the mother was
53 in a critical state. Two days
54 this encounter (偶然相遇) with the little boy, I read in the newspaper that the young
55 had passed away.
