Last year, I worked in a middle school near my granny s hou, and I stayed with her for a month. During that time, I helped her do some houwork and buy some food.
After the first week, I noticed that the food was eaten up very quickly. Then I began keeping an eye on my granny. To my surpri, I found that she would put some of the food into a paper bag and go out with it at about nine every morning. And finally, I decided to follow her. I saw her taking the food to the street children. She would also spend a lot of time talking and playing with them.
One day, I talked to a neighbour and found out that my granny was well-known in the area. The children were very friendly with her and even thought of her as their own granny. Then it hit me--why wouldn't she want to tell me about it? Was she worried that I would stop buying food if I found out?
When my granny got home, I gave her a big hug (拥抱). I told her she didn't need to keep
it a cret from me. And she told me something about the children. Some of them lived with an old lady in a small hou. Others slept on the street. For years, she was helping the poor street children by giving them food. After she told me everything, I was so moved by how lfless she was. She helped others in need. As her grandson, I was so proud of my granny.
I continued to buy food for my granny after that. But I always added one more bag for her other grandsons.
