2.2.17A 故事《给予树》

Mom was mad when she found her 8-year-old youngest daughter spent all of her Christmas money on cheap lollipops. She saved money for her five children and she would not tolerate a waste like this. When she was having a serious conversation with her daughter, she learned about the sweetest thing ever... 圣诞节快要到了，该选购圣诞礼物了。孩子们热烈地讨论这个问题，互相试探对方的心意，希望送出最诚挚的祝福，收到最甜蜜的笑容。让我担心的是，家里并不宽裕，我只攒了一百美元，却要由五个孩子来分享，他们怎么可能买到很多很好的礼物呢？　　圣诞节前夕，我给了每个孩子二十美元，提醒每人至少准备四份礼物。接着，我把他们带到一个商场，分头去采购，约定两小时后一起回家。　　回家途中，孩子们兴高采烈。你给我一点儿暗示，我让你摸摸口袋，不断让别人猜测自己买了什么礼物。只有八岁的小女儿金吉娅沉默不语。透过塑料口袋，我发现，她只买了一些棒棒糖——那种五十美分一大把的棒棒糖！我有些生气：她到底用这二十美元做了什么？　　一回到家，我立即把她叫到我的房间，打算和她好好谈谈。没等我问，金吉娅先开口了："妈妈，我拿着钱到处逛，本来想送给您和哥哥姐姐一些漂亮的礼物。后来，我看到了一棵援助中心的'给予树'。树上有许多卡片，其中一张是一个小女孩写的。她一直盼望圣诞老人送给她一个穿着裙子的洋娃娃。于是，我取下卡片，买了洋娃娃，把它和卡片一起送到了援助中心的礼品区。"金吉娅的声音很低，显然在没能给我们买到像样的礼物而难过。"我的钱就......只够买这写棒棒糖了。可是妈妈，我们有那么多人，已经能收到许多礼物了，而那个小女孩却什么都没有。" 　　我紧紧地拥抱着金吉娅。这个圣诞节，她不但送给我们棒棒糖，还送给我们善良、仁爱、同情和体贴，以及一个陌生女孩如愿以偿的笑脸。 ——摘自人教版语文课本三年级上册 Subscribe to our newsletter: https://goo.gl/forms/iGzDQVYToF7Rivo42
