Question

Last weekend, our family went to have Christmas dinner in a restaurant.We were the only family with a baby in the restaurant.Suddenly, my baby Erik became excited when we were enjoying our meal.I looked around and saw an old man with old clothes and dirty old shoes.His hair was unwashed.He was smiling at my Erik.

“He might hurt my Erik,” I thought.Everyone in the restaurant looked at us and the old man.Then we decided to leave.The old man sat between the door and us.

As I walked closer to the man, I turned my back.Suddenly, Erik leaned(倾斜) over my arms, reaching with both arms in a baby’s pick-me-up position(姿势).Before I could stop him, Erik had escaped(逃跑) from my arms to the man’s.Soon the very old smelly man and my young baby developed a kind of friendship.

Erik put his little hand on the man’s face, and I saw the old man closed his eyes and tears running down his face.His aged hands held my baby so gently(温柔地).A moment later, the old man opened his eyes, passed me my baby and said, “Thank you, Madam.You’ve given me the best Christmas gift.”

I cried, with my face burning hot.A child saw a soul(灵魂), but a mother saw only a kind of clothes.
