Question

Every day as I drove through town, I saw a one-legged man going through the dustbins next to McDonalds looking for food. It was only a month Christmas, starting to get cold and I could not help him.

So I bought a brush, loads of bread, cans of fish, and added a blanket and sweatshirts. I made a box up like a present and went this man. I saw him hobbling (蹣跚) away from the dustbins. I pulled over, took the box and to him. I said, “I would like to give you a Christmas present, and there are some food here and some things you might be able to use.”

He sidestepped around me and said, “No, thank you, I just had lunch. I don’t need .”

Then he hobbled on down the sidewalk, me standing there in tears. I took the box down to a little shop that gave things out to the and homeless and told them what had happened and asked that they should give the to someone who could use it. The person there told me not to be and they thought my feelings were hurt as I was crying. I told her I was not crying for me but for him because what I had done his dignity(尊嚴(yán)) by treating him like a person in need. I was so .

A few years later I was able to in St. Anthony’s Dining Room in San Francisco. These people had to stand in for up to 6 hours to receive the food they could get. We took one tray of food at a time, and treated them they were in a restaurant ordering a meal they were paying for and when we took our , we would sit down with one of them and talk and our food with someone if we had too much.

From my own experience, I have learned a great lesson. help is sometimes harder than giving it.
