I used to be selfish(自私的), I should say. But one moment changed me.
I was on my lunch break had left the school to get something to eat .On the way, I saw a man playing the guitar, with a hat in front of him. I had some coins in my pocket, but I would not give them to him, thinking to myself he would use the money to buy drugs or alcohol（毒品或酒）.He looked like that type of man, young ragged. But I then realized I had no right to place myself above him just because he was praying for money.
I stopped dropped all the coins into his hat, he smiled at me, I watched for a while. Selfish as it sounds, I expected something more to come from that moment—like a feeling of happiness or so. But nothing happened, I walked off. “It seemed to be a waste of money ,”I thought.
On my way home at the end of the day, I saw the man again he was packing up .I watched him pick up the hat walk to a store. There he poured the all the money into a box, which was used to collect money for the people after an earthquake(地震). He was praying for charity(慈善)!
Now I give any coin I have to charity boxes enjoy the feeling of giving.
