我被他们吸引了,我不知道还有人跟我一样挣扎着过日子,这使我的心很疼。大家唱歌时我看着他们,姑姑递给我信封时我看着他们,我打开信封时依旧看着他们,突然我发信封里装着一张褶皱的100美元纸币。妈妈很生气姑姑竟然给我这么多钱,我觉着在花钱方面姑姑比妈妈更信任我。
We were poor, I didn't eat 3 days a week, I had a very hard childhood. But I had never dug in a dumpster for food.
我们很穷,一个星期里有3天吃不上饭,我的童年过得很苦,但从来没有翻垃圾箱找吃的。
My auntie kept talking over my mother, telling me, I can do ANYTHING I want with that money. So I did. I walked to the dumpster to the boy and his mother. I explained to the boy that it was my birthday and my one present was a $100, and I wanted to give it to them. There were so many tears and thank yous.
姑姑一直在说服妈妈,她告诉我我能随意支配这笔钱,所以我就自己拿主意了。我朝垃圾箱旁边的男孩和他妈妈走过去,我向男孩解释说那天是我的生日,我收到了 $100的礼物,我想把钱给他们。他们感动得痛哭流涕,说了很多感谢的话。
I, and my auntie, understood how powerful it was to give the only money I've ever seen away. My mother never did. I paid dearly for the action that night. But it was worth it.
我和姑姑理解把自己见过的唯一的钱给别人对自己有多大影响,妈妈却从未有过这种感觉。那天晚上我为自己的行为付出了巨大的代价,但一切都值得。
