There is a saying, "One man's trash (垃圾 )is another man's treasure. " It means I might1something and throw it away (扔) while someone might love it and take it. I once saw a homeless person searching trashcans to2something. So I asked him3he did that. He told the saying to me.4I didn't really understand it at that time.
This man lived in the5near my house. People around6bothered (打扰)him. I went running in the park one morning and saw him putting together a bed with stuff he had7from the trash. He only took clean stuff. If it had food trash on it, he would8although it's useful. So I took a blanket (毯子) to him. He felt 9and thanked me.
I remember one day the10came to him. They wanted to take away his stuff. The neighbors went to the police and told them that he wasn't hurting11by being there. The homeless man looked at every neighbor and thanked them, but told the police to take his "12" away. "I know you are just doing your13. Go ahead. "
When the police heard what he said, they decided to leave him alone. He has been there for a few years now. He has even started planting a14with lots of fruit trees and flowers. People often gave him food and other things he might15__. He has turned others' trash into his own treasure.
