When I was a little child, my mom sometimes liked to make breakfast food for dinner. And I remember one night she made breakfast after a long hard day at work.

That evening, my mom placed a plate of eggs, sausage and very burned (完全烤焦的） cookies in front of my dad. I remembered waiting to see if anyone would say anything. But all my dad did was to reach for his cookie, smile at my mom and ask me how my day was at school. I didn't remember what I told him that night. But I did remember watching him eat bite of that cookie!

When I got up from the table that evening, I remembered hearing my mom say sorry to my dad for burning the cookies. And I'll never forget what he said, “Dear, I love burned cookies.”

Late that night, I went to kiss Dad goodnight. And I asked him if he really did like his cookies burned. He gave me a big hug and said, “Your mom had a hard day at work today, and she's very tired. Besides, a little burned cookie never hurt anyone!”

This family made a big impression on me. There were eight children, their clothes were not expensive but clean.

The ticket lady told him the price. The man’s wife let go off her husband’s hands, her head dropped and the man’s lip began to shake. The father leaned a little closer and asked,“how much did you say?”

The ticked lady told him again. The man stayed silent. It’s clear that he didn’t have enough money. But how could he tell his kids the bad news?

We were all silent. My dad put his hand in his pocket, pulled out a$20 bill and dropped it on the ground. I was surprised to see these——our family wasn’t rich, either.

My father reached down, picked up the bill, tapped the man on the shoulder and said, “Excuse me, sir, this fell out of your pocket.”

The man understood what was going on at that time. He looked straight into my father’s eyes, took my dad’s hand in both of his, and in tears he replied, “Thank you, sir, this really means a lot to me and my family.”
