On Christmas Eve, seventy-three-year-old George selected his food carefully. Skim milk was $2.99, white bread 89 cents with a 10-cent discount. Leaving the cashier, he calculated that he had saved 80 cents today．

At the exit, the wind reminded him of his gloves．“Where are they?” Not in the coat pockets．Not in the grocery bag either. He was sure he was wearing them when he entered the store. He clearly remembered putting them into the pocket of this coat．George made a second thorough search of all his pockets，again including the grocery bag. Now he was sure they must have been dropped somewhere inside the store．

Old George had bought the black leather gloves at a 25％discount, for just $35.00 ten years ago. They were soft and warm and very durable. He had taken care not to let a drop of water or rain touch his expensive gloves，so they looked like new．Losing this favorite possession was almost like losing a child to him．

George，calm on the outside but nervous inside，re-entered the store．He followed the same route he had walked before，starting at the bread counter，to the milk section，the corner where salt and sugar were placed，then the rest of the store．Several minutes of anxious searching turned out to be in vain．He asked the customers whether they saw a pair of black leather gloves，but they said no．Then he went over to the cashier without hesitation to ask if she had received any lost gloves，but only received the same answer．His heart grew heavier．

“Society has changed，people have changed，” he murmured to himself．“Years ago，if somebody picked up something lost，they would give it back．Now a good action is lost．”

Yet he did not give up hope．He started to stare at anybody wearing black gloves to see if they looked like his．The first two persons he saw did wear gloves，but one was women’s and the other not black．

Paragraph 1

Suddenly，he found a man looking like a lawyer，wearing black leather gloves．

Paragraph 2

During the whole holiday，he was always thinking whether to buy a new pair．

We live in central Phoenix, near the canal. Every day I used to see a homeless old man and his shabby and untidy dog hanging out down there.

I would tell my husband we should give him food for the little dog. It wouldn't have been a problem; we have our own “mini farm” of animals! But he would say “OK!” and then blow the idea off because of our business.

Being in Phoenix, Arizona, you can just imagine how hot it gets here, but its winter was really chilly! I had just come from KFC with take-out food for dinner. As I was turning by the canal, the man was sitting on a long bench，wrapping himself with an old brown coat and even older scarf. Even the dog had a worn-out woolen vest on! Not even thinking more about it, I pulled into the parking lot along the canal and piled up a plate of chicken with all the fixings for the man and his little dog as well as a cup of hot coffee and a bottle of juice. Looking at all the hot and delicious food and drink, he said, “Thank you, sweetie. You are an angel．” And he was a little moved and I found tears welling up in his eyes! I told him he was so welcome, and then went home.

When my husband dug into the KFC bag, he asked, “Were you hungry, or what happened?” I told him what I did and he said, “Only you?” Then he told me I had done a good thing. Since there had been nothing left in the KFC bag, we decided to go out to have our dinner. By the time, we wanted to pay our bill, I couldn't find my wallet. I really didn't know where I lost it. Luckily, there was not much money in it, and I forgot it at once.

Paragraph 1

A week later, I was waiting my friend on the bank of the canal.

Paragraph 2

I had a chat with the old man.
