Mr Backer is a kind-hearted man. Once he gave some food to a poor woman. Mr White, the boss of the restaurant, found it and became angry. He often gave the leftovers(剩饭菜) to some poor workers. Mr Backers lost his work for it. It was difficult for him to find work in the small country though(虽然) he was an able cook.. The war made all stop. Children couldn't go to school, most shops were closed, even some farmers were hungry. Some people were made to leave their houses and they had to find the safe places. It was an autumn night. Mr Backer hadn’t any food to eat and went to bed, but he couldn't fall asleep. Suddenly he heard a noise in his room. He saw a man looking for something useful there. He said nothing and watched it carefully. At last the man brought a few old clothes out of a broken paper box and took them away. He got up quickly and followed him gently(文雅地), with his quilt on his back. The man didn’t find him and went into a small and wet house. Mr Backer also went in and saw there was nothing in the room. The thief(贼) saw him and was surprised. He asked, “What did you come here for?” “You have carried my things here,” said Mr Backer. “I have to move here, too!”
