As a single parent of four children,money was always tight .It was Christmas time,and although there wasn’t money for a lot of gifts,we planned to celebrate with a family party .But the big excitement for the kids was the fun of Christmas shopping.
They planned weeks ahead of time ,asking eacher other what they wanted for Christmas.luckily,I have saved $120 for presents to share by all five of us .The big day arrived.I gave each kid a twenty-dollar bill and reminded them to look for gifts of about four dollars each.Then everyone scattered.We had two hours to shop.Then we would meet back at the “Santa’s Workshop.”
Driving home,everyone was in high Christmas spirits except my younger daughter,Tina,who was unusual quiet.She had only one small,flat bag with a few candies—fifty-cent candies!I was so angry,but I didn’t say anything until we got home.I called her into my bedroom and closed the door,ready to be angry again.This is what she told me:
“ I was looking around thinking of what to buy ,and I stopped to read the title cards on the ‘Giving Trees.’ One was for a little girl,four years old.And all she wanted for Christmas was a doll .So I took the card off the tree and bought the doll for her.We have so much and she doesn’t have anything.” I never felt so rich as I did that day.

作为四个孩子的单亲妈妈,钱总是很紧张,圣诞节到了,尽管没有足够的钱去买一大堆的礼物,但是我们仍然计划开个家庭聚会来庆祝一下,对于孩子们来说最兴奋的事情就是圣诞购物了.
他们在圣诞节前好几个周就开始规划了,每个人想要的礼物,幸运的是,为了我们五个人的礼物,我积攒了120美金,这天终于来了,我给每个孩子20美金的清单,让他们找礼物,每个礼物大约在4美金左右.每个孩子都尖叫着.我们有2个小时的购物时间,然后在santa’s的店铺那会合
开车回家的途中,每个孩子除了小女儿Tina ,他们都处于兴奋状态,Tina ,超乎寻常的安静,她只拿了一个很小的盒子.里面装了些50 美分的蜡烛.我非常生气,可是直到我们回家我都没有说什么,我把她交道我的卧室,关上门,准备发火,下面是她对我说的话:
当我寻找着要买什么的时候,我看见在付出树上有个卡片,是关于一个4岁小女孩的.她只希望在圣诞节能得到一个玩具,所以我就拿下了卡片,把这个礼物送给了她.我们已经有这么多礼物,她却什么都没有.我从来都没有感觉到像那天那么富有.
