This continued until one morning, after a week of sleeping in his car, he walked nervously into a diner and ordered a big breakfast.After eating his first good meal in weeks, he found himself lying to the waiter, telling him he had lost his wallet.The waiter, who was also the owner, walked behind the chair where the young man had been sitting.

　　He bent down, and came up with a $20 bill that looked as if it had fallen on the floor.“Son, you must have dropped this，” the owner said.The young man couldn't believe his ear! He quickly paid for the breakfast, left a tip, bought gas with the bill, and headed West.

　　On the way out of town, he understood.“Maybe nobody dropped the money at all.Maybe that owner just knew I was in trouble and he helped me in a way that didn't embarrass(使困窘) me.I'd been praying for a few days before that, and right then I just made an engagement．I said, ‘If ever I have a chance to help other people, I will do it.’”

　　Now older, the man lives in Kansas City.Each year he gives away thousands of dollars.He is known as the “Secret Santa(圣诞老人)，” because at Christmas time each year, he personally hands money out to those on the street, and at diners.Last year, he gave more than $50，000 away in Kansas City.

　　【语篇解读】　在自己困难时受到别人无私的帮助，功成名就时，富裕时，就要以适当的方式来回报社会。但愿人人能付出一点爱。
