“Class, tomorrow I want you to bring a cup of macaroni（通心粉) for our craft class, OK?" I was afraid of the next day because I knew we had no macaroni at home. Living in an alcoholic environment, we never had too much of anything except beer bottles.

I went home after school. Where could I find macaroni? I knew that the local bottle shop gave ten cents for a beer bottle, so I decided to sell some bottles to get money for macaroni.

I started collecting the bottles and sold them. I got eighty cents. Although I did my best, I still had no macaroni for my craft class.

"Weren’t you listening when I asked you to bring it, John?" my teacher asked.

I was embarrassed（尴尬）. I didn’t know w hat to say and other children started laughing. Then a little girl, Rosalyn, who sat beside me, turned to me and said, "You can have some of mine.” She gave a bag of macaroni to me. The kindness in her eyes made me start to cry and I ran out of the room in shame.

I never took her macaroni or thanked her for her bag of kindness. However, I often think about Rosalyn and the way she turned to save me that day. Once, anger and hurt were always full of my life. I kept kind people like Rosalyn away, but after that class, I changed my attitude. I thanked all the people like Rosalyn that made this world a better place to live in.

C

She turned up at the doorstep of my house in Cornwall. No way could I have sent her away. No way, not me anyway. Maybe someone had kicked her out of their car the night before. "We're moving house. " "No space for her any more with the baby coming. " "We never really wanted her, but what could we have done? She was a present. " People find all sorts of excuses for abandoning（抛弃）an animal .And she was one of the most beautiful dogs I had ever seen.

I called her Goldie. If I hand known what was going to happen I would have given her a better name. She was so homeless during these first few days. She hardly ate anything and had such an air of sadness about her. There was nothing I could do to make her happy, it seemed. Heaven knows what had happened to her before. But at last at the end of the first week she calmed down. Always by my side, whether we were out on one of our long walks or sitting by the fire.

That’s why it was such a surprise when she pulled away from me one day when we were out for a walk. We were a long way from hom e, when she started barking and getting very restless. At last I couldn’t hold her any longer and she ran off down the road towards a farmhouse as fast as she could.

By the time I reached the farm I was very tired and upset with Goldie. But when I saw her licking(舔) the four puppies(幼犬) I started to feel warm in heart. “We didn’t know what had happened to her,” said the woman at the door. “I took her for a walk one day, soon after the puppies were born, and she just disappeared.” “She must have tried to com e back to them and got lost,” added a boy from behind her.

I must say I do miss Goldie, but I’ve got Nugget now, that is a good lesson: not to judge people, and she looks just like her mother.
