Last Sunday，an earthquake struck the Napa Valley area of northern California.It happened in the middle of the night，becoming the strongest earthquake to strike the Napa Valley in 15 years.No one was killed，but many people were treated in hospitals.

I said to my seven­year­old twins，Brad and Brett，and three­year­old Meghan，“We have so much，and these poor people in trouble now have nothing.We'll share what we have with them.”

I filled a box with foods and clothes.While I was doing this，I advised the boys to choose their toys and donate some of their less favourite things.Meghan watched quietly as the boys took out their old toys and put them together.Then she walked away.A few minutes later she came back with Lucy，her much­loved doll.She put the doll on top of the other toys.“Oh，dear，”I said.“You don't ha ve to give Lucy.You love her so much.”Meghan said，“Lucy makes me happy，Mommy.Maybe she'll make another little girl happy，too.”

I looked at Meghan for a long moment.She taught me a lesson.It's easy to give something that we don't want any more，but hard to give what we cherish(珍爱)，isn't it?
