   A man went into a restaurant and sat down at one of the tables.

   A waiter went up to him and gave him the menu.

   The man read it carefully, then ordered(點(diǎn)餐) all the most expensive foods and began to enjoy himself.

   Then a small boy came into the restaurant and sat at the man’s table.

   The waiter came up and said to the man, “What would your little boy like, sir?”

   “Oh, just an ice cream, ” the man told him. Then he said to the waiter, “I’m just going out to buy a newspaper.”

   He left the restaurant. The waiter gave the boy an ice cream. The boy ate it, and then stood up and walked to the door.

   The waiter ran to him.

   “Excuse me,” he said, “but your father hasn’t come back and he hasn’t paid for his meal or for your ice cream.”

   “I’m sorry,” The young boy said, “He’s not my father, I don’t know who he is.”

   The waiter did not understand. “What do you mean?” he asked.

   “The man came up to me in the street, ” the boy said. “He asked me if I liked ice cream. I told him I did. Then he told me to come into the restaurant at 2:00pm and sit down at his table. He said he’d give me some.”

    After knowing the truth, the waiter felt so sad, because he had to pay money for the meal.

When I was ten, my mother worked all day so I had to take care of my younger brother. At that time my little brother was about four years old and he missed mum all the time.
One day, after I had given him his dinner, he started crying for mum. He was so young and really needed mum. So I dressed him, put on his shoes, carried him on my back and walked out. Soon he fell asleep. About half an hour later, I found that he had lost a shoe while sleeping. I took him off my back and put him down. I knew we needed to find that shoe, for our mother couldn’t afford new shoes. We had to go back to find it, so I told my brother to wait right there. A man heard it and stopped me just before I walked off. He asked me, “You are leaving your brother here to find the shoe? What would you do if he is not here when you return?” I did not know how to answer that question. He continued, “It’s OK if you can’t find the shoe, but it is not OK to lose your brother.” Then he sent us to mum’s workplace by taxi.
My whole life I have depended on the kindness of many strangers, I feel regretful that I cannot find them and say thank you. I do not even remember what the man’s face looked like, but he taught me a lesson—people are more important than things.
