This story happened to me last Christmas Eve. I was in the Dollar Tree with (I) son looking for a particular item. Suddenly, a young girl (come) up to us, said
Merry Christmas," and stuck something into my hand. She ran off before I could say a word or realize what was happening. I took it, (think) it was just a kid's homemade card or a religious tract (册子). Then I saw it was envelope and was sort of afraid to open it. I walked around the store a bit and my son told me to go ahead and open it, so I did. There was a $ 100 bill! I (actual) didn't know if it was real I had never seen one of the new $ 100 bills before. I am not a needy person.
When my adult (kid) heard about this, they teased me about "looking homeless.” Of course I passed on the gift to a (much) deserving person. Anyway, yes, I would take a gift a stranger. People do this as a random act of kindness. It spreads the holiday spirit. Sometimes I do random acts of kindness for strangers, too, and it (make) me feel good.
