Omar Chajam is a wise old man who lives in a small town. One day when he was walking down the street, he met a man who was always jealous (嫉妒的) of him. The man came up and began saying something bad to Chajam,“You are a drinker! You are a thief! You are an idiot!”

Chajam didn’t care. He just smiled and walked on.

Another man dressed very well saw this. He didn’t understand and asked Chajam,“How can you bear such offences (冒犯)? Don’t you feel hurt?”

Chajam smiled again and said,“Come with me. I’ll show you something.”

The man followed Chajam to a dusty (落满灰尘的) room. Chajam lighted the candles and began searching through a pile of old clothes. Then he found a completely worthless robe (长袍). He threw it to the man and said,“Try it, it will suit you.”

The man took the robe and looked at it. It was so old that it even had some holes in it.

“What are these dirty rags (破布) for?”asked the man angrily.“I am well dressed. You must be crazy!”He threw the robe back.

When my son, Mark, was in the third grade, he saved all his pocket money for over three months to buy holiday presents. The third Saturday in December Mark said he had made his list and had twenty dollars in his pocket.

I drove him to a nearby supermarket. Mark picked up a hand basket and went in while I waited and watched in the car. It took Mark over 45 minutes to choose his presents. Finally he came to the checkout counter (收银台) and reached into his pocket for his money. It was not there! There was a hole in his pocket, but no money. Mark stood there holding his basket, tears falling down his face.

Then a surprising thing happened. A woman came up to Mark and took him in her arms. “You would help me a lot if you let me pay for you,” said the woman. “It would be the most wonderful gift you could give me. I only ask that one day you will pass it on. When you grow up, I would like you to find someone you can help. When you help others, I know you will feel as good about it as I do now.”

Mark took the money, dried his tears and ran back to the checkout counter as fast as he could. That year we all enjoyed our gifts almost as much as Mark enjoyed giving them to us.

I would like to say “thank you” to that very kind woman, and tell her that four years later, Mark went house to house collecting blankets and clothes for the homeless people in the fire. And I want to promise her that Mark will never forget to keep passing it on.
