I have forgotten the name of the old lady, who was a customer(顾客) on my newspaper route when I was twelve. Yet she taught me a lesson that I shall never forget.

On a winter afternoon, a friend and I were throwing stones onto the roof of the old lady’s house near her garden. I found myself a perfectly smooth rock and threw it. The stone was too smooth, however, so it slipped(滑) from my hand as I let it go and headed straight for a small window on the lady’s door. At the sound of broken glass, we knew we were in trouble. We ran faster than any of our stones flew off her roof.

I was too scared about getting caught that first night to be concerned about the old lady with the broken window in winter. However, a few days later, when I was sure that I hadn’t been discovered, I started to feel guilty for her trouble. She still greeted me with a smile each day when I gave her the newspaper, but I was no longer able to act comfortably when seeing her.

I decided that I would save my paper delivery(送) money, and in three weeks I had the seven dollars that I thought would cover the cost of her window. I put the money in an envelope (信封) with a note saying that I was sorry for breaking her window and hoped that the seven dollars would cover the cost of repairing it.

The next day, I handed the old lady her paper. She thanked me for the paper and gave me a bag of biscuits she had made herself. I thanked her and ate the biscuits as I continued my route.

After several biscuits, I felt an envelope and pulled it out of the bag. When I opened the envelope, I was shocked. Inside were the seven dollars and a short note that said, “I’m proud of you.”

I took my 7-year-old daughter to a restaurant by the beach for lunch. When we arrived, I saw JoJo, a rich man in the hotel business. We sat down to chat in an open-air cafe. Suddenly, our conversation was interrupted(打断） by a stranger, who politely asked to speak to me alone.

　 We stood a bit away from my table. Usually, people who asked to talk to mp told me their

opinions on the shows I hosted. But he was different. He said, “I'm James, the father of a 7-year-old girl who's very sick. Doctors have said that if she is treated in the UK, she will probably become better. I don't have much money. Can you please help me?"

I looked into the man's eyes, which were filled with tears. Then I went to sir back at the table. JoJo asked, "What's wrong? Your face changed." I told him why.

I thought of James and his daughter all the weekend. I even thought of doing a special TV show to collect money for the sick girl. On Monday morning, I was at the office when JoJo walked in, which was surprising because JoJo was so busy. I never thought he would have time to come and see me at the studios.

With a check book in hand, he said, "Please call James and tell him I'll pay for his sick daughter's treatment. I've been married for 35 years, but I'm not lucky enough to have a child. I love children and want to help this child." I called James.

The daughter is living a normal life now and JoJo visits her sometimes. I'm so happy that there're so many good people in this world.
