Tom Hankins, 88, stood by the living room window, looking out of the window. It was a beautiful and sunny day in Florida. Tom stopped socializing altogether six years ago after his wife. Meredith, died of cancer. He had all of his time to himself, reading books, watching TV and occasionally experimenting with new cooking recipes on social media platform.
With time. Tom realized he didn't particularly like being alone. His only son, Aiden, was a successful analyst (分析师) in a big IT firm in New York City, and Tom wanted Aiden to visit him, but the young man kept putting it off.
Suddenly, Tom noticed that the rubbish bags were left outside instead of inside the bin (垃圾桶). Thinking it would relieve his boredom, Tom went to the bin and began clearing the rubbish, putting the bags inside the bin. When he was done, he noticed that nearly every family in the area had left their rubbish bags outside the bins.
Tom knew it would be difficult to clean up the rubbish in front of all the houses in the hot weather, but he couldn't just see the rubbish bags left like that. He took a big rubbish bag from his backyard and decided to move from one house to the next, clearing up the litter.
Tom stopped right in front of the bin and began clearing the rubbish, putting the bags inside the bin. But he hadn't even left when a man came with a rubbish bag and simply dropped it on the road. To make matters worse, he didn't even secure the bag properly, so the wind blew part of the rubbish onto the street.
