THE GIFT
In the late ’50s, I rode the bus ten miles to work. I carried very little cash and only enough bus tokens to last each week. One night as I walked to the bus stop, I met a beggar who had no legs. I stopped, opened my billfold, and discovered that I had no money and no bus tokens. I apologized profusely but, frankly, was shaken because I had no way to get home. The beggar reached into his pouch and pulled out a handful of coins. Embarrassed, I took enough for the bus, and he said, “God bless you.”

五十年代末的时候，我乘巴士坐十公里去上班。我身上不怎么带现金，也只带一周够用的巴士票。一个晚上，我正走向巴士站，遇到了一个没有腿的乞丐。我停了下来，打开钱夹，却发现里面既没有钱，也没有巴士票。我大方地道歉，不过老实说有些被吓到，因为我没法回家了。乞丐从他的小袋子，倒出了一把硬币给我。我窘迫地拿了足够搭巴士的份，他对我说“愿上帝保佑你。”
