My two little daughters and I usually go out and help others on weekends. Last Saturday we went to buy lunch for the beggars(乞丐)in the street. Then we went to the nearest restaurant.
I ordered 15 lunches from it and drove my car to hand them out.
We gave the lunches to the beggars. They were excited and we were happy to see that.
Then we noticed a small, old woman, asking for some money. We gave her our last lunch bag.
Before we got into the car, she started to speak to us, "Thank you so much. No one did anything like this for me before," she said with a smile. "Well, I'm happy that we were the first," I answered. "So, when will you eat your lunch? I asked.
She just looked at me with her big, tired brown eyes and said, "Oh, dear, I'm not going to eat this lunch. You see, I have a little girl of my own. I usually can't buy favorite food for her, but today she will be very happy!"
I don't know if my daughters found the tears in my eyes. I have asked many times if our help was too small to change(改变)anything. Yet at that time, I knew the truth of words: We cannot do great things—only small things with great love.
