They often plan a surprise party for special events like someone's birthday. If you want to know what a surprise party is like, please look at the following example.
One Saturday night, Sam's wife asked him to go to the kitchen and bring her a glass of water. Sam walked to the kitchen. When he opened the door, he saw a "bear" standing in front of him! Sam was very scared and wanted to run away at once. Just then the "bear" took off his costume(服装).

I saw a man, about 30 years old, hobbling(蹒跚) down the road when I was shopping in town. He was homeless and seemed to have a pain(疼) in his leg. I watched him for a few minutes but wasn't able to help that day.
All that evening, I thought about his life and story. Later, I decided that that if I met him again, I would help him. I saw him in the street the next day! I saw him put some money into donation box(捐款箱). Then I quickly went to the cash machine(自动取款机) to get some money. With money in my pocket, I followed him. I heard him ask a lady for money. He said he had ulcers(溃疡) in his leg and he wanted to see a doctor. The lady couldn't help but ask him about his problem.
I walked up to him after that. Then I put the folded(折叠) money in his hand so he wouldn't feel uncomfortable. I didn't say anything. We just looked at each other and he said, "God bless you!"
I can't tell you how good I felt to help others. I hope he smiled that day.
