  I didn't think the passion(激情)was important for my life until that day.

  One day I went out with my mum.I was bored.Then, as my mum stopped at a red light, someone on the side of the road caught my eye.It was a man wearing old clothes.He was homeless.That didn't interest me, for I had seen many like him before.

  But in some way he was different.This man was not sad to sit there.He had a radio in his hand and was dancing happily to the music.The radio seemed to be the most important thing.

  “Mum, why does that man have a radio even thought he's homeless?” I asked.

  “He bought it,” she answered.I was still puzzled

  “But if he's homeless, why doesn't he use the money to buy food or clothes? He wasted it on something he doesn't need.”

  “Well, Sarah, sometimes food and clothes aren't the most important things.We need happiness, too.”
