当时我就站在沃尔玛商场入口处门外,对每一位向我的红壶里投入捐款的人都报以一声“谢谢”和一个微笑。

一位穿着整洁的妇人牵着她的幼子向放壶的台子走过来。

她在钱包里摸着找钱时,孩子抬头看了我一眼,问我:“你穷吗?”当时他眼里充满疑惑和好奇,时至今日仍历历在目。

“Well,” I stammered, trying to think, “I have more than some people, but not as much as others.” His mother scolded him for the social no-no, and they hurried off to do their shopping.His question, howeve r, did not leave me.“嗯,”我结结巴巴,边想边回答,“我比有些人拥有的多,但比其他人拥有的少。
