One pleasant New Year's morning,Edward got up early and dressed himself very quickly.He wanted to be the first to wish everyone a happy New Year.He looked in every room,and shouted the words of welcome.He ran into the street to repeat them to those he might meet.When he came back,his father gave him two bright new silver dollars.His face lighted up as he took them.He had wished for a long time to buy some pretty books that he had seen at the bookstore.

He left the house with a light heart,intending to buy the books.As he ran down the street,he saw a poor German family,the father,the mother,and three children trembling with cold.

“I wish you a happy New Year,”said Edward,as he was passing by.The man shook his head.“Do you belong to this country?”asked Edward.The man again shook his head,for he could not understand or speak English.But he pointed to his mouth,and to the chil?dren,as if to say,“These little ones have had nothing to eat for a long time.”Edward quickly understood that these poor people were in a very difficult situation and required some help.He took out his dollars,and gave them to the poor family.

How their eyes sparkled(閃耀)with gratitude!They said something in their language,which probably meant,“Thank you so much.”

When Edward came home,his father asked what book he had bought.He hung his head for a moment,but quickly looked up.“I couldn't afford to buy books,”said he.“I gave my money to some poor people,who seemed to be very hungry.”
