Irwin Corey was a famous American film actor. But today, the story you will read is not about his achievements in film but about his begging (乞讨) life.
He became a beggar once and often walked in the streets of Manhattan. He wore old and broken clothes. He was very thin and seemed to be weak, looking like a poor homeless old man.
________ He only asked for some change from passing drivers, and then he gave the driver a free copy of the newspaper he bought. Each time he asked for money, he was always smiling and also told jokes to the drivers. The drivers thought him kind and humorous, so they never let him go empty-handed.
Although all the money he begged was coins, he still made lots of money at the end of the day. Irwin Corey had been begging for money for many years. However, he didn’t spend any of the money he had asked for. Every time the money was up to a certain amount (量), he donated it to a charity which bought medical supplies for Cuban children. For 17 years, he donated all his hard-earned money to the charity.
He was not short of money. He lived in a $ 3.5 million big house. He was not a beggar, either. “On the one hand, I just want to help people in need. On the other hand, begging can make me feel not lonely, as my wife had passed away,” he said.

Our plan for the coming year is to send love to kids in poor families. The first part of this plan is to collect used clothes—coats, pants, sweaters, and even school uniforms. If you have too many of these in your home, why not let us have them? What you don’t need can be wonderful gifts to these poor kids. All clothes must be washed and cleaned. You can bring them to our office any day before August, or our workers can pick them up at your home if you give us a call first. Give away what you have.
