Martin got an important lesson from his teacher Mr. Lee. He will never forget it.
One day, Martin and Mr. Lee went out for a walk. They reached a farm where Martin saw a pair of old shoes. They seemed to belong to (属于) a poor farmer who would return after a whole day of hard work. Martin thought of an idea, "Why don't we hide these shoes and wait? It will be fun to watch his reaction (反应) when he can't find his shoes. " Mr. Lee thought about it for a while and asked Martin to put some coins in his shoes.
The farmer finished his work. As he put his foot in the shoes, he felt something hard. He was amazed to find coins. He took them out and saw if (是否) someone was looking for them. He didn't see anyone, so he kept them in his pocket. He got moved and tears came out of his eyes.
The farmer looked at the sky, "Many thanks to that unknown person. You help me at the time of need.
Because of your kindness and help, now I can buy medicine (药) for my wife and bread for my hungry children. "
Martin's eyes were full of tears. Mr. Lee said, "Now tell me what makes you happier. "
Martin said, "I understand the joy of giving is much more than taking. "
