On a cold winter afternoon, Susan was walking home from a supermarket. She was feeling a little tired because she was carrying her shopping bags. They were so heavy that she had to have a rest in the park. She walked towards the gate of the park. She noticed a poor man walking out of a restaurant in front of her. The man was holding a paper bag. He walked to a rubbish bin (垃圾箱) and started looking through it.
Susan suddenly felt sad. She knew this man would take all that he could get, so she went up to him and gave him some fruit. The man looked up in surprise and took the fruit.
A big smile appeared on his face and she felt very happy. They he said," Wow! First someone gave me this sandwich, then the orange juice, and now some delicious fruit. This is my daughter's lucky day. Thank you, girl." Then he went away, singing a song.
Just then, Susan understood what the saying" Giving is getting." really meant. Everyone in the world needs help and everyone can offer help.
Giving sometimes doesn't cost much, but it means a lot to the people who you help.
