    Sam was a fifteen­year­old boy living with his little sister, Julie. Their parents passed away long ago. Sam had to take care of Julie by himself.

One day, Sam woke up at three in the morning as usual. When Julie was sleeping alone, Sam left their little house to send newspapers. When he found an old man sitting in front of their house, Sam was so surprised that he stopped to look at him closely. It was an icy morning and he looked very cold.

    The poor old man didn't have anything to cover himself with. Sam went into his house to get the old man a blanket(毯子). However, there were no extra blankets, so Sam thought hard and took his father's coat. It was the only thing of his father's that he had left. Sam wrote a short note. "Sir, I found you sleeping in front of my house. This is my father's coat. I hope it fits you well." He put the note in a pocket of the coat and covered the old man with the coat. Then he went to work. When he came back, both the man and the coat were gone. Sam thought that it was the best thing he could do with his father's coat.

    That afternoon, Sam hurried home after school because Julie was at home alone. However, Julie and the old man were standing in front of the house, and Julie shouted to Sam, "Brother! He's our grandfather!"

    The grandfather smiled and said, "Sam, thank you for giving me the coat and letting me know how good my grandson is. This coat was the one that I gave my son a long time ago!"

        ①下午带女儿去大院门口的街道上买西瓜。一溜子装瓜的车子排在那儿，女儿东瞅西瞅，最后在一个妇女的瓜摊前停了下来。她相中这个瓜摊，肯定是与妇女身边的小孩有关。那是个小男孩，3岁左右，头剃得光溜溜的，坐在那儿眯着眼似乎随时都会睡着。
       ②女儿蹲下来挑瓜时，男孩眯着的眼睛忽然打开了，他双手在地上一撑，弹起来，跑到女儿身边，伸出一双胖乎乎的小手，摩挲着她手腕上的木珠子。她的妈妈在边上吆喝他“别调皮”，可他没听进。女儿见他好玩，伸出另一只手，摸摸他葫芦一样的光头，他大概有点痒，咯咯咯地笑，笑出的一串涎水滴到了女儿的胳膊上。
        ③女儿把涎水在裤子上擦去，然后褪下了手腕上的珠子，递给小男孩，小家伙拿过珠子，往手上一套，舔了一口，笑着跑开了。他妈妈呵斥他回来，他仍然没听见，笑着在地上兜圈子，跑着跑着，被旁边的西瓜绊了一跤，嘴巴正好磕在另一只瓜上。女儿准备伸手去拉，他当是要抢回珠子，迅捷地爬了起来，煞有介事跑得远远的。
        ④女儿把瓜放在秤盘上，女人称好后，接过我付的钱，就去追小男孩，可这小子还在往前跑。女儿和我都在笑，一溜子卖瓜的人也在笑。女人终于追上他了，褪下珠子，往回跑，小男孩不干了，咧着嘴，跟在后面伤心欲绝地哭。
        ⑤女人笑着把珠子递给我女儿，但女儿没接。“送给他吧”，女儿说。女人一副慌张的样子，“不能要不能要。”边说边往我女儿手上塞。女儿红着脸，把双手背在身后，“不值钱的，给他吧。”小男孩此时已跑到跟前，见他妈妈正把珠子给别人，哭声更嘹亮了。女儿看着，不停地笑，然后从女人手里接过珠子，往小男孩手上套，他的哭声立马打往，脸上立刻堆满了笑容，鼻涕也笑成了小泡泡。
        ⑥我们离开时，女人执意要塞给我们另一个瓜，我们当然没要。傍晚时，我们去散步，那妇女正弯腰收摊子，小男孩一看到我们就跑开了。跑到远处，高举着套着珠子的手臂，立在那儿，笑着向我们炫耀，那样子就像一个骄傲的小王子。
       ⑦过了好几天，我和女儿说起那个小男孩举着木珠向我们炫耀的样子时，仍止不住发笑。女儿笑着，笑着，又说了一句：“那个小光头说不定现在又在‘烧包’，向别人炫耀他手上的珠子呢。”我说“有可能”，我笑了，女儿也笑了。
