    This is a true story of a very special hotel named Maggie. Do you wonder what makes Maggie special?

    It started long ago in Michigan, the USA. Maggie was one of the most popular hotels. People liked going swimming in its pool and having meals at its restaurant. Its halls were always filled with people and laughter (笑声). However, years later, there were more good hotels in Michigan. As a result, fewer and fewer people went to stay in Maggie. And its halls became empty.

    One day, a man named Mike Karl came to Maggie. He said, "I'm going to fill Maggie with people and laughter once again. " First, Mike Karl hired (雇用) people to fix up the hotel. They painted and cleaned the rooms and halls. Next, Mike Karl went to look for people without homes and brought these people to Maggie. Maggie became a famous hotel for the homeless in the USA. Very soon, more and more homeless people moved into the hotel. Maggie provided these people with warm beds, food, clothes, showers and jobs.
