One day when I was about 12, I went to a restaurant for dinner with my family.
When my mom and I walked to the restaurant from our car, a girl about my age and her mother came up to us. My mom immediately（立即）asked where they kept their things. "That old car across the street, " said the girl. "Six of my family live in it. "
My mom said she had something to do, and after handing them a few dollars, we said goodbye. But she didn't come.
About one hour later, my mom came back. She said she went home and brought some food and clothes to the girl. She told me that we were lucky and that the girl's family wasn't so lucky. I remembered that girl—she was the same age as me, but we looked so different. I dressed in almost new clothes but her clothes were so old. "My mom really did the right thing, " I thought to myself.
Until now, I still remember that night. On that night, my mom taught me one of the best lessons I ever learned.
