I was a single parent of four small children, working at a low-paid job. Money was always tight but we had a roof over our heads, food on the table, clothes on our backs and if not a lot, always enough Not knowing we are poor, my kids (孩子) just thought I was strict I’ve always been glad about that.
It was Christmas time, and although there wasn't money for a lot of gifts, we planned to celebrate with a family party. But the big excitement for the kids was the fun of Christmas shopping
They planned weeks ahead of time, asking each other what they wanted for Christmas. Fortunately, I had saved $120 for presents to share by all five of us.
The big . day arrived. I gave each kid a twenty-dollar bill and reminded them to look for gifts of about four dollars each. Then everyone scattered (散开). We had two hours to shop; then we would meet back at the "Santa's Workshop".
Driving home everyone was in high Christmas spirits, except my younger daughter, Ginger. Who always usually quiet. She had only one small, fiat bag with a few candies — fifty cent candies! I was so angry, but I didn't say anything until we got home. I called her into my bedroom and closed the door,ready to be angry again. This is what she told me: I was looking around
thinking of what to buy, and I stopped to read the little cards on the ' Giving Trees.' One was for a little girl, four years old, and all she wanted for Christmas was a doll (玩具娃娃). So 1 took the card off the tree and bought the doll for her. We have so much and she doesn't have anything."
I never felt so rich as I did that day.
