Once I sent off a friend to the railway station. We called a taxi and put several heavy suitcases in the trunk. Getting off, a middle-age man leaning on a crutch opened the door for us. After that, he stretched out a small dirty pot to us. On the pot were stacked with coins and banknotes of one or two jiao.

有一次,我去火车站送朋友。我们叫了辆出租车，把几个沉重的箱子放在车后面。下车时，一个拄着拐杖的中年人给我们打开了车门。接着，他向我们伸出一个肮脏的小盆。 盆上堆满了一毛两毛的硬币和纸币。

I asked my friend if she had some changes. She shook her head. I had to give him two yuan used for buying the platform ticket to the middle-age man. Shocked, he kept jerking the small pot, as if he received so much money for the first time.

我问朋友是否有零钱。朋友摇了摇头。我只好把准备用来买站台票的两元钱都给了 那个中年人。中年人大吃一惊，手不停地抖动着小盆子，好像他第一次收到这么多钱。

Not caring, we went straight to the trunk to fetch the suitcases. My friend took out one suitcase with all her might .Just as she was about to pick up another, a dark stout hand stretched in. “Let me do it.” He picked up the suitcase and insisted on carrying it for us to the railway station entrance. “No, thank you. You are so compassion."My friend and I didn’t give the heart. “No, I must send you off.” He limped towards the station, his left hand leaning on a crutch and his light hand carrying the large suitcase.
