I and dropped all the coins into his hat, and he smiled at me, I watched for a while.

Disappointedly, I walked off.“It proved to be a waste of ,”I thought.

On my way home at the end of the , I saw the busker again and he was packing up . I watched him pick up the hat and walk to a cafe counter. There he poured the total contents into a tin collecting for an earthquake fund-raising event. He was busking for charity！

Now I donate any I have to charity tins and enjoy the feeling of giving.
