Yogurt（酸奶）
It was a rough week. The price of oil rose sharply as the temperature dropped badly in Maine. We were looking at a high of eight degrees that week, and I had missed three days of work, so my payment was going to be lower than normal, I was stressed, to say the least. I shopped strategically, looking for every possible way to cut pennies so I could buy groceries and keep the house warm.
My eight-year-old son,Peter, didn't understand when I told him we were struggling that week. He wanted a special kind ofyogurt, but I couldn'tsparethree dollars to buy it for him. It was the kind of yogurt with a cartoon kid riding a skateboard on the front of the box, and a mere twospoonfulsin each cup. It was the kind of product that wastes a parent's money and makes me hate advertising. I felt guilty as amotherwhen those big eyes looked at me with confusion, as if to say, "It's just yogurt. What's the big deal?" So I found a way, I put something back as single mothers often do. He got his yogurt.
On the way back from the grocery store, I noticed ahomelessman holding a sign by the side of the road. My heart hurt, and I tried not to look at him. I watched people avoid him on the street and walk by without even meeting his eyes, let alone show theirkindness. I looked at him closely then—bare hands holding a piece of cardboard, snot (鼻涕) frozen to his face, a ripped jacket. And there I was struggling because I had to buy oil-to heat my home.
I reached into my wallet where I had throe clumps (叠) of money already folded and ready for rent, oil, and farming, I had calculated what we needed to the penny.
Ihandedthe man a five-dollar bill. He trembled as he took it. "God bless you," hesmiled. That's when I started tocry.
