St. Martin's Day is a holiday in Holland. St. Martin was a man who did kind things for many people in need. One cold winter day he was walking home. He wore a coat to keep warm and had a small piece of bread to eat. Then he saw a stranger on the side of the road. The man sat on the ground and he was hungry and had no
home. St. Martin took his knife and cut his coat in two. He gave the man half of his warm coat. Then he gave
the man half of his bread.
     Nancy was a schoolgirl in Holland. One St. Martin" s Day, she rode her bicycle with her classmates after
school. When she got home, she said goodbye to her classmates and went into her yard. As she parked her bike, she heard a noise in the grass. She jumped back suddenly. At her feet was a small gray homeless cat. "That old
cat keeps scaring me!" she complained as she walked into the room. "It won't hurt you," said her father. 
      She was angry about the cat but she could not be unhappy for long. It was St. Martin's Day." Who was St. Martin anyway?" Nancy asked. Father told her the story of St. Martin. Nancy was touched (感动) by the story. She put a piece of bread in her bag and went into the yard.
      Nancy heard the noise again." You wait a minute!" she called as she ran after the cat. She caught it and
picked it up. She opened her bag. Taking out a piece of bread, she offered half to the cat. The cat hungrily ate
the bread. "May we make a box for it to sleep in?" Nancy asked her father."Sure," said her father.
