Noah went to the pet store with his mom and his brothers, Ben and John. Noah looked at a beautiful fish while he was waiting.

“May I have a pet?” Noah asked.

“You can’t take care of a pet,” Ben said. “You’re too little.”

“I’m almost seven,” said Noah.

“You won’t be gentle with a pet,” said John. “You’re too little.”

Mom smiled. “It’s hard to keep a pet’s cage neat.”

Noah stood tall. “I can be neat.”

When they got home, Noah went to the room. He dropped his blocks (积木) into a box. He parked the cars on his shelf. Noah put his pajamas (睡衣) away. He smiled. He could be neat.

The doorbell rang. Uncle Jay arrived. Noah heard his baby cousin, Alice, crying. “Hi, Uncle Jay,”Noah said. “Why is Alice crying?” “She’s hungry, Noah,” Uncle Jay said. “Can you get her baby bottle? Do you want to feed Alice?”said Uncle Jay. Noah nodded.

“You’re very gentle. You’re really growing up. Thank you for helping take care of Alice,”Uncle Jay said to Noah. Mom looked at Noah. “Yes, he is,” she said.

Gifts for the poor

Mrs. Susan was mean and bad-tempered. There was no other way to describe her. Just the other day I heard her telling the headmaster that children took too much time in arts. She even said that most of us didn’t understand what we were doing. I left the office feeling very angry.

My anger didn’t last, however. It was December and Christmas was approaching. Excitement filled me right up to the top of my head. I smiled and laughed, singing “Jingle Bells” as we rode home from school.

After dinner, Mom and Dad called me into the family room. I knew what we were going to discuss. Every year for as long as I could remember, we had chosen a family who needed some extra help at Christmastime, and we had taken gifts and food to their house. It was one of our family’s favorite traditions.

Dad said, “It’s time we decide which family to help this year. Do you have a suggestion?” Some years it had been really easy to decide, but this year I couldn’t think of anyone. Dad looked at Mom. “Maybe Mom has a suggestion. Sometimes she notices things the rest of us miss.” Mom smiled. “I do know of someone who needs our help. I think we should help Mrs. Susan.”

I couldn’t believe what I was hearing! “But, Mom,” I protested, “she seems to have plenty of money and she dresses in nice clothes. Besides, she’s really bad-tempered. She doesn’t even like kids. She might even kick our gifts off her porch (门廊). I think we should choose someone else.”

“I know Mrs. Susan has enough money,” Mom said. “I know she isn’t very pleasant to be around. But she was divorced before she moved here. She has three children who have their own children and never come to see her. She is very lonely and unhappy. You see, she never celebrates Christmas. April, you weren’t quite right when you said she wasn’t poor.”

“You mean she’s poor in love?” I asked. “Yes. Sometimes it’s much more painful to be poor in love than it is to be poor in money?” I was quiet for minutes. Then Dad said, “Let’s take a vote.” Dad’ and Mom’s hands went up. Looking at them, I unwillingly raised mine.
