I took my 9-year-old daughter, and 5-year-old son, Robbie to the shopping center. As we got there, we saw a big sign that said, "Petting Zoo". The kids jumped up and asked, "Daddy, can we go?"
Both my wife and I were out of work. However, I said, "Sure", giving them 5 yuan each. They went away, leaving only 10 yuan in my pocket (口袋).
In the Petting Zoo, kids can pay and play with a hundred of little animals while their parents shop.
A few minutes later, I saw Susan walking along behind me. I was surprised and asked why she didn't go to play with the little animals.
She said sadly, "Well, Daddy, a ticket for Petting Zoo costs 10 yuan. So I gave Robbie my 5 yuan. " Then she saidthe most beautiful thing I had ever heard. She told me the family motto (座右铭)： Love is SACRIFICIAL (牺牲的) Action.
I knew Susan loves animals very much. I was moved (感动的). We went back to the Petting Zoo. While Susan stood there and watched Robbie playing with the animals happily, I put my hand into my pocket and took out the money. Sure, I must do that!
