Once inside, my kids whispered to me, “Mom, he smells.” After we ordered our lunch, Lee
and I explained the best we could, telling the kids to look beyond the dirt to the person underneath
and within. As we explained, the four of us watched other customers approach the restaurant. They
appeared unsure of the homeless man and many ignored him.
Seeing this rudeness truly frustrated me. When we were almost finished, I excused myself
from the meal and went to the truck for my purse.
As I neared the front door, the doorman was opening it for a couple and welcoming them to
the restaurant. They rushed past him and didn’t even acknowledge his presence. I let the couple
come through first and then said a loud, and polite “thank you” to the doorman as I exited.
When I came back, we talked a lot. The doorman told me that the restaurant’s manager
wouldn’t let him inside unless he purchased food. All he could afford was coffee which, he said,
didn’t count as “food” according to the manager, so he had to stay outside.

Dear Jack,
I'm glad to hear from you. Knowing that you intend to make a trip to Beijing during the summer vacation, I am really
excited and eager to introduce the city to you.
Beijing, covering an area of about 16,410 square kilometers, is located in the north of China with a population of about
21,530, 000. Not only is it an ancient city with a long history, but it is a place of cultural significance. Additionally, a great
number of tourist attractions are worth visiting there, including the Imperial Palace and Tian'anmen Square. Personally, the
Great Wall is a must to visit. As the proverb goes, "One who fails to reach the Great Wall is not a hero." If necessary, I can
book a proper hotel for you in advance.
I am looking forward to your coming to China. Wish you an unforgettable experience in Beijing!
Yours,
Li Hua
读后续写
Seated myself, I signalled the waiter to come and decided to do something before leaving. I told his story to my family
and asked our waiter to add one more soup and sandwich special to our bill. Both the kids looked at me curiously as we had
already eaten, but Lee knew exactly what I was doing. The waiter was confused, too, but when I explained the order was for
the doorman and that he was to eat his meal inside with the rest of the customers, he smiled and thanked me. He walked
towards the doorman and conveyed my kindness to him.
Hearing the waiter’s words, the doorman approached me excitedly and thanked me for the hot meal. He extended his
hand for a handshake, which I gratefully accepted. It was then I realized he had tears of gratitude in his eyes. I gave him a
hug. Just as surprised as the rest, the doorman held me tight for a few moments. Pulling away, his tears were now streaming
down his face. Back to the truck, both children asked why I would order a meal for the “smelly guy”. Again, I shared that
everyone had goodness inside and by expressing one simple act of kindness to others, the world would possibly become a
better place.
