The Little Tin Heart

[i=s] 本帖最后由 xiaomeixin 于 2010-12-11 12:56 编辑 [/i]

[size=10.5pt][font=Courier New]行为乖戾的孩子往往不讨人喜欢,对他们多一点耐心,多付出一点关爱,也许,他们的一生会因你而改变……[/font][/size]

[size=10.5pt][font=Courier New]
[/font][/size][font=宋体][size=10.5pt]     [size=4]My work was to drive a school bus. Charlie was eight and he always made trouble on the bus. [/size][font=宋体][size=10.5pt]
[font=宋体][size=4][size=10.5pt]     Charlie’s father was dead and he didn’t live with his mother. So I tried my best to show the child some kindness. [/size]
[size=10.5pt]     One day, I got a small tin heart from a little girl as a gift. [/size]
[size=10.5pt]     On the last day of school, I found that the tin heart was gone. "Does anyone know what happened to the little heart?" I asked.[/size]
[size=10.5pt]     One boy said, "Charlie was the first one on the bus. I am sure he took it."[/size]
[size=10.5pt]     "Have you seen the tin heart?"[/size]
[size=10.5pt]     "I don’t know what you’re talking about," Charlie said. [/size]
[size=10.5pt]     "Check his pockets!" the children said.[/size]
[size=10.5pt]     I put my hand into one pocket. Nothing. I reached into the other pocket. Then I felt it. Charlie looked at me for a long time. There were no tears in those big eyes. "Let him keep it," said a voice in my heart.[/size]
[size=10.5pt]     "I must have dropped it before I got here," I said to the children. [/size]
[size=10.5pt]     Many years later, I was in a supermarket when someone said, "Polly?" I turned to see a middle-aged man. [/size]
[size=10.5pt]     It was Charlie. Then he pulled something out of his pocket —the little tin heart.[/size]
[size=10.5pt]     "You were the only one who kept trying to help me," he explained and hugged me.[/size][/size][/font][/size][/font][/size][/font]
