This is a story of a man who works in a big factory. I have seen him for years but I’ve never paid any attention to him. He was a little bit weird . He always wore an old red hat and carried a rubbish bag. He usually spent his break time and his lunchtime walking around in that old big factory and collecting used tins（铝罐）.
One day, I was fixing one of the broken machines in the factory when this “tin man”came with his bag. As usual, he picked up the tins, which were all around the place. My manager was standing there watching me.
When I finished my job, I heard my manager ask the “tin man”about what he was going to do with those tins he had collected. I never even thought about this kind of question, because I always guessed that “tin man”would take those tins to the recycling center.
Unexpectedly, the“tin man”answered, “I will give these tins to my neighbor. He has been ill for many years and cannot work. ”I was so shocked to hear that, so I asked him:“You mean you collect all those tins just to help your neighbor?”“I know this does not help much,”he said “But I give everything to him, because he cannot work. He needs help. ”
It was the most beautiful moment in my life. It has made me feel humble every day since then.
