The man, with wrinkles( 皱纹)on his face, looked up in surprise and took what I gave him.A big smile appeared on his face and I felt very pleased. Then he said, “Wow! First someone gave me this sandwich, then this drink, and now some delicious fruit. This is my daughter’s lucky day. Thank you, boy.” Then he went away, singing a song.Just then, I realized what the saying “Giving is getting” really meant.
