When I was about twelve, I headed to a restaurant for dinner with my family. It was winter, and on that particular night, the 16 was really blowing hard.

As my mom and I headed towards the restaurant from our car, a girl about my age 17 her mother came up to us. They asked if we had any spare change.

My mom said she had something to do 19 handing the people a few dollars. She sent me inside the restaurant with my dad and my three siblings. But she didn’t come with us.

Later, I 20 that she had gone home and emptied our cupboards into a few bags. Then, she brought the bags of fo od to the family. I wasn’t there when 21 happened, but I can imagine the joy it brought to their faces.

A few days later, when I learned about what she had done, I 22 her why she helped those people. She told me that they were not lucky. I remember the face of that girl who had asked us for change — she was the same 23 as me, yet we looked so different.

Here I stood, dressed in almost new clothes, headed to dine in a restaurant and then went back home to the bedroom I 24 with my younger si ster. I remember thinking that the girl didn’t have any food to eat, and she was heading back to a cold car shared with five other people.

As a young woman, my mother worked in the kitchen of a large farm owned by Fanny Cratty. She was hardworking and had a special skill in making delicious strawberry jam.

Aunt Fanny was single and had no children. She didn’t like to share love with others. I thought she was very lonely, although she didn’t mind it. She had a workshop where my mother helped her make the best strawberry jam, and everyone in our town bought it. But aunt Fanny asked my mother not to tell the recipe(秘方) of making the strawberry jam to others.

When the strawberries were ripe, my family would pick them together. We talked and laughed, experiencing the fun of picking strawberries. But aunt Fanny never joined us. She just asked us to pick strawberries quickly and make more strawberry jam to make more money for her. Each person in our town said that she just paid attention to money rather than anything else. What a poor woman! It’s no use having too much money because she had no family and friends to share her happiness during her lifetime.

Maybe it was the recipe that brought success to aunt Fanny. But to me, it was just a common recipe. Money can make you feel rich for a while, but it is the beautiful days spent with family and friends that truly make you rich.
