I was walking around in a Target store, when I saw a Cashier hand this little boy some money back.
# c) A. ^$ E5 J. u& t" Q我在「塔杰」商店閒逛時，看到收銀員將一些錢退還給小男孩。

/ m1 j+ D6 A9 TThe Cashier said, ' I ' m sorry, but you don ' t have enough money to buy this doll. '
收銀員說：『抱歉！你買這娃娃的錢不夠。』

Then the little boy turned to the old woman next to him: ' ' Granny,

「奶奶！妳也認為我的錢不 嗎？」

The old lady replied: ' ' You know that you don ' t have enough money to buy this doll, my dear. ' '

Then she asked him to stay there for just 5 minutes while she went to look around. She left quickly.

I replied to him that maybe Santa Claus would bring it to her after all, and not to worry.
% @8 \# d8 J' l我告訴他不用擔心，聖誕老人最後可能會帶給她的。

But he replied to me sadly. ' No, Santa Claus can ' t bring it to her where she is now. I have to give the doll to my mommy so that she can give it to my sister when she goes there. '
% }) k% O" m4 E/ ?8 u% X2 \但他哀傷地回答我『不！聖誕老人不可能將它帶到她現在的地方給她。我必須將娃娃交給我媽，當她去那裡的時候可以給我妹妹。』

'I love my mommy and I wish she didn ' t have to leave me, but daddy says that she has to go to be with my little sister. '
『我愛我的媽媽，我希望她不要離開我，但是爸爸說她必須去找我妹妹。』


Then he looked again at the doll with sad eyes, very quietly.
然後他安靜地用哀傷的眼睛再看著娃娃。

3 a! ]+ _6 w3 AI quickly reached for my wallet and said to the boy. ' Suppose we check again, just in case you do have enough money for the doll! ' '
我趕緊摸著錢包對小男孩說『我們再檢查一下，說不定您有足夠的錢買玩偶! 』

'OK ' he said, ' I hope I do have enough. ' I added some of my money to his without him seeing and we started to count it. There was enough for the doll and even some spare money.
9 k- j. L) g$ n; q$ j; ~1 q. P" F『好呀！』他說『我希望有足夠的錢』。沒讓他看見，我塞了一些錢到他的錢包中，我們開始數錢。買娃娃的錢足 了，甚之還有剩餘呢。

'I also wanted to have enough money to buy a white rose for my mommy, but I didn ' t dare to ask God for too much. But He gave me enough to buy the doll and a white rose. ' '

她在那裡，裝在棺木中，在她的手中握著一朵白玫瑰和小男孩的相片，娃娃則放置在她的胸口。

I left the place, teary-eyed, feeling that my life had been changed for ever.. The love that the little boy had for his mother and his sister is
still, to this day, hard to imagine.

就在一轉眼工夫，一位醉酒司機奪去了他的所有。

对自己负责。对别人负责，对社会负责，请勿酒后驾车。因为这个小男孩有可能成为你家的孩子。
