On a Saturday with nothing particular to do, I took my daughter, Alice, for a walk and found myself wandering into a charity store where I had worked before. In a charity store, donated items were all sold at a lower price so that those in need could afford things they might need, so we couldn't help but join the bustling(熙攘的)crowd of customers.
Alice closely examined each toy, while I searched through a pile of picture frames priced at one or two pounds. Suddenly, Alice grabbed a little furry hedgehog(刺猬)toy and ran towards me, saying, "Mom! I want to buy this! " When she held up the little hedgehog to show me, it seemed strangely familiar. I carefully examined the little hedgehog from top to bottom and all around, and then I held it up in front of Alice, asking her, "Don't you recognize this little hedgehog?"
Alice tilted(歪)her head looking puzzled and suddenly exclaimed, "Oh, I recognize it! This was my old little hedgehog!"
Exactly, half a month ago, Alice packed up her unwanted old toys and donated them to this charity store, and among the toys was this little hedgehog. Reaching out quickly, Alice grabbed the little hedgehog and said, "I like this little hedgehog. Let's buy it!" Are you kidding me? Half a month ago, it was you who personally sorted and said that you didn't want those toys anymore. That's when I brought that pile of toys to the charity store. And now, half a month later, you want me to buy the hedgehog back.
I refused this request without hesitation. After all, since we've already donated it, it doesn't make sense to buy it back. Alice, looking at me in disagreement, also didn't want to give in and said, "Why won't you buy it for me? Aren't we buying things from here to help people?"
"Yes, but when we donate things to the charity store, we're also helping people."
"But if you don't buy it, how will it make money? If you don't buy it, it can't help people, right?"
