佚名/Anonyo

I liveAlbuquerque, New Mexi, and there are so holess peoplethe downtown, especially the Uy area.I ed to give a lot of oo the holess, feelg sorry for their isfortu as ti passed, I fell to a victi to any of the circes of a holess person.After I was divorced fro y hband, I beca a sgle o with no ho, a huge debt, and hardly any e.As a result, I beca very an and sped givg to the people on the side of the road.

Through y w hard, thgs started to ge for .I beca responsible enough to have a ho with a backyard for y daughter, and plenty of food, and I started to pull yself out of debt.One day we saw a holess person with the sign“Will work for food.”I passed by.My daughter nted,“Moy, you ed to always give to those peopleneed.But now ...”I replied,“Hohey jt e that oney for alhol or other bad thgs.”She didn’t respond.But when I said that, I didn’t feel right.

Three days ter, I was drivg to pick up y daughter fro school.A an was standg on the rner with the appearance of worries, and suddenly sothg deep sidesaid,“Jt help the guy.”So I rolled down y dow, and he ran over with enthias.He said,“Kd dy, I only need 77 ts.”I reached to y pocket and found that I didn’t take y purse.And then I ebarrassedly spread out y hands to show that I wasno position to help hi.But wheurned away, I called to hi,“Wait ont!”I foundy ashtray there sat three quarters and o pennies.Oddly enough, it was the very 77 ts.

My sk ricklg as I saw this.I soped it up and gave it to hi.He burst out with joy and tearshis eyes,“Wow, you jt ade it possible forto see y o for Christas! Thank you so uch! I haven’t visited y other for three years.The b is leavg20 utes!I have to go now.”

It was the ont that I’ll never fet.I thk that an won’t fet it either, but I was the one who got the best giftlife—GIVING.It also strikesthat nothg is a ce, and every givg has ang, although it is the huble 77 ts.

我在新墨西哥州的爱伯克奇城居住，许多无家可归的人都聚集在市区，特别是在高校区。出于对他们不幸的同情，我过去常会给他们很多钱。然而，随着时间的流逝，我也沦为他们中的一员。离婚后，身为单身母亲的我无家可归，没有收入，还要还一大笔债。我变得很吝啬，不再给街头的流浪者们一分钱。

在我的努力下，生活有所好转。我已经能为女儿买带后院的房子，为她提供丰盛的饭菜，而且债务也渐渐还清。一天，我们看到一个流浪汉，胸前挂着这样的牌子：“请给我点吃的吧。”我漠然地走过。女儿感叹道：“妈妈，您以前总会帮助他们，可是现在怎么……”我回答说：“亲爱的，他们只会用那些钱去喝酒或干坏事。”女儿默不作声。但我觉得自己不应该那么说。

三天后，我开车去学校接女儿。看到一个人满脸焦虑地站在角落，顿时我心中有个声音说：“去帮助他吧。”于是我摇下车窗，只见他喜出望外地跑了过来，说：“好心的女士，我只需要77美分。”我去摸钱包，却发现没有带。我只好尴尬地摊开手，以示我无能为力。但当他转身要离开时，我叫住了他：“稍等一下！”我在烟灰缸里找到了三张25美分和两个便士。实在太巧了，刚好77美分。

看到这些，我感到皮肤一阵刺痛。我将零钱拿出来，给了他。他顿时开心地热泪盈眶，说：“噢，您让我能够在圣诞节回家看望母亲了！太感谢您了！我已经三年没看过母亲了。汽车还有20分钟就开了！我得走了。”

我永远忘不了那一刻。我想他也不会忘记，但生活却带给了我最珍贵的礼物——给予。它也让我瞬间明白：一切并非偶然，任何给予都意义非凡，就算只有这极少的77美分。
