It was New Year time. We were travelling in a van (货车) 1  toys to the homeless. When we 2  the spot, something caught my eye. Something or someone was moving in the rubbish. Soon I 3  that it was the home of a poor family. There were two children, both about my age at the time, and a lady I supposed to be their mother. They sat there hopelessly.

As a little girl myself I was 4  interested in the little girl. How 5  our lives were. She lived for the day, 6  through the rubbish for something to fill her stomach. I on the other hand was well looked after and never had to worry about 7 . I had a good education and thus a 8  future. I looked at the little girl. The only 9  she had was the worn-out dress that she was wearing.

Seeing this little girl I made the decision to give away a doll that had belonged to me straight away. When the van came to a 10 , I stepped out, called the girl over and 11 the doll in her hand. At first she looked at me with 12 and wasn't certain what to do, but then she smiled and I saw 13 in her eyes. I went back into the vehicle and we started to 14 off, and that's when we realized the little girl was running behind. We stopped again and opened the door. The girl had 15 with us. She looked directly at me and said two simple words "Thank You".
