Last Friday , I went home on bus . I saw a old woman with a basket full of egg after I got on the bus . I learned from his conversation with the conductor that she doesn’t have enough money for a ticket Then I quick gave one yuan to the conductor to pay for an old woman . The old woman thanked me a lot , but even wanted to giving me some eggs . I refused her because I thought it was my pleasure help someone in trouble . Don’ t you think so ? Best wishes , Yours, Linlin (责任编辑：admin) |
