When he started, he asked his wife and daughters if they wanted him to buy something for them in London. Mrs Black began to think it over and then she said she wished her husband would be able to buy a nice umbrella(伞) for her, and so did their three daughters. As he was afraid he would forget it, he drew an umbrella on his hand. When he reached the station, he found his hands were dirty. He washed them and the drawing was gone.
On the train Mr Black sat opposite to an old woman. The woman"s umbrella was so nice that he carefully looked at it and said to himself not to forget to buy a few umbrellas like it. When the train arrived at the
station in London, he said goodbye to the old woman, took his bag and her umbrella and was going to get off.
“Wait a minute, sir,” shouted the old woman. “That"s my umbrella!”
Mr Black stopped to look at his hands and his face turned red at once. He said in a hurry, “Oh, I"m
very sorry, madam! I didn"t mean it!”

Up to now John has helped 15 children from poor countries all over the world, ＄200 a month for each. The child does not receive the money in cash(现金). The money pays for the child"s school expenses, food, medical care and clothing. John receives a report each year on the child"s progress. They can write to each other, but usually the children do not speak English.
When John first heard about these children, he wanted to help them.“It was not anything special,”he said, “Until I had the chance to go to these countries and meet the children I was helping, I did not know any thing about the type of life they had.”
Once John went to meet a little girl in Africa. He said that the meeting was very exciting.
“When I met her, I felt very very happy,” he said,“ I saw that the money was used for a very good plan. It brought me closer to the child in a way that giving money alone cannot.” “I want to do everything I can. I will go on helping those children in need.” he added.
