I knew we needed to find that shoe, for our mother couldn’t afford new shoes. I had to go back to find it, so I told my sister to wait right .
A man heard it and stopped me just I walked off. He asked me, “You are leaving your sister here to find the shoe? What would you do if she is not here when you return?” I didn’t know how to answer that question. He , “It’s OK if you can’t find the shoe, but it is not OK to lose your sister.” Then he sent us to mum’s workplace by taxi.
During my whole life I have depended on the kindness of many strangers, I feel sorry that I can’t find them and say ‘thank you’. I do not even remember what their faces , but they taught me a lesson --- people are more important than things.
