I haven’t Eaten for Several Days

710 views. 2011-11-10 17:50

When I bought vegetables and walked near a pool on road to home last sunday, I felt someone dragged my T-shirt and heard a voice, “do me a favor, big brother. I haven’t eaten for several days.” I turned around and found a girl looking at me with a poor face.

  She wanted me to lend her some money to buy food, but I wasn’t willing to do so. I just showed her to a restaurant and ordered a dinner for her. After she finished eating, she said she wanted to go home, but didn’t have the money to buy a train ticket. I wasn’t willing to give her money to buy ticket. Instead, I answered her with good intention, “why don’t you work in our company? For a month, you can earn money enough to buy train ticket to go home.” She just refused, “I have poor schooling and am afraid of not being able to work.” “There isn’t high request for the work. You only need to work diligently. You can do the packaging of product, pasting labels etc.” However, she still refused.

  Now I was a little angry, if she wasn’t willing to earn money by her own hands, what’s the responsibility of mine to help her? So I paid for her dinner and got ready to leave.

  She asked for my mobile phone number and said she would repay me later. I just refused her politely and walked away quickly.

  For a little while, I turned around and found she was walking with a boy hand in hand. Maybe he was her boyfriend. I forced a smile and ridiculed myself being softhearted, though I knew she was lying obviously, still I tried to help her.

You are a kind and warm hearted man and what you did was high respectable. As for that girl, nobody likes to go so low as to ask strangers for money. Nevertheless, her refusal to earn money by working shows she is not worthy of money help. Buying her food was the best thing you could have done. Don't feel cheated, just feel sorry for her.

Helping others really makes me not so depressed and happy. Actually I’m really helping myself.

It's not so bad, at least she doesn't hurt other people, which is much better than robbing and stealing.

Yeah, I feel begging other people is really the most difficult thing to me. I don’t feel being cheated, after all, a dinner isn’t a big deal.

Yeah, it's true.  Actually I didn't help her much. Inviting her for a dinner isn't a big deal. I know myself is too soft-hearted and can't refuse others' request for food.

We should be warm-hearted, but please don't take advantage our sympathy, don't treat our good heart bad.

yaping: Yep~
I learn a new word from you. Maybe I'll use 'yep' instead of 'yeah' in future.
