I was in the park with my elder sister, Cathy, on Friday．My sister left her jacket on a chair while we were talking to some friends．When we went back to the chair, a girl in a red T-shirt was sitting there．She had some money in her hand．When she saw us, she got up and walked away．

I asked my sister, “Did you have any money in your jacket？”

      She said, “Yes, Anna, I did．”

      I said, “Look in your jacket quickly．”

      Cathy looked in her jacket, but her money was not there．

“That girl stole（偷）it！” I said, and we both ran after her．We caught her quickly．My sister was very angry and she said, “Give me the money．” The girl gave the money to Cathy and ran away．

Then we went home．But before we could tell our parents, my mother said to Cathy, “You left your money at home．It’s on the table in the sitting room．You must be more careful with money．”

So the girl in the red T-shirt was not a thief！She probably thought we were thieves！We felt terrible．

      Please telephone us if you know this girl！We are very sorry for our mistake．We would like to say sorry to her and give the money back to her．

I didn’t think I had a passion(激情). I would sit in front of the TV all day, thinking about nothing but the next show. It was not long ago that I first learned how important having a passion is to life.
That day I went with my mum to drive my sister to the gym. I was bored. Then, as my mum stopped at a red light, someone on the side of the road caught my eye（吸引我的世界）. It was a man dressed in rags (衣衫褴褛). He was homeless. That didn’t interest me, for I had seen many like him before.
But in some ways he was different. This man was not sitting down with a sad expression(表情). He had a radio in his hand and was dancing happily to the music. The radio seemed to be the most precious(珍贵)thing he had.
“Mum, why does that man have a radio even thought（尽管） he’s homeless?” I asked.
“He bought it,” she replied. I was still unable to understand.
“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.”
The man must care too much about music to buy a radio instead of food clothes. I soon realized（意识到）that happiness is the key to life. Without it, there’s nothing to look forward to.
Since then I’ve never gone a day without thinking of what’s truly important. A home, a meal, clothes—these things are only part of the picture. What’s often forgotten is that we all need a pleasure, a light in a dark day. We all need a passion.
