Cons (欺骗) happen a lot in our society. It can be hard to know who is really in need and who is trying to exploit (利用) other people’s (kind).
Recently, I was finishing my work at home the dog barked, letting me know someone was at the gate. I rushed to see who was and there I saw a poor, fragile woman in her late fifties. This woman told me a story, “My husband and I live in a slum nearby. We earn living working at construction sites. A few days ago my husband fell down the stairs while (carry) a heavy load. He was badly hurt and he (lie) in bed with a high temperature for the past five days. Please help me! I need to take my husband to a doctor!’’
I felt really bad about her situation was she telling me the truth or trying to cheat me for money? However, I went out with fifty dollars and handed it to her. moment she got the money she burst tears. She took my hand and said, “Thank you so much!”
From her tears I was able to figure that she was really in need of help. I (move) and went back to my work smiling.
