When I worked as a teacher in New York，there was a park near my home. I always saw a little boy sell 1 there. He tried to ask everyone to buy them. When he saw 2 he always said，" Would you like a rose or a tulip（郁金香），sir？" 3 ，I never bought anything from him.
One day，I went to4 . The boy was there again. I pretended（假装） not to 5 him and walked past him into the park. When I got back from work，the boy was still there. But he didn't ask anyone to buy his flowers. I wanted to know 6 . I walked to the boy. He looked at me but didn't say one 7 . "Boy，why don't you ask people to buy your flowers today？" He 8 ，"Because my sister died（死）. She was in hospital before and I needed the money to save her. But I don't need 9 money now. You can take a flower for free. "I bought all his flowers. But I still felt so sorry and sad，because I didn't give him any10 when he needed me. Now I always help other people，because I don't want things like this to happen again in my life.
