One pleasant New﹣year morning，Edward's father gave him two bright，new silver dollars．He had wishes for a long time to buy some new books．

As he ran down the street to the bookstore，he saw a poor German family，the father，mother and three children walking in the cold wind．

"I wish you a happy New Year．"said Edward，as he was happily passing on．The man shook his head，for he could not understand or speak English．But he pointed to his mouth，and to the children，as if to say，"These little ones have had nothing to eat for a long time．"

Edward quickly understood that these people were poor and in trouble．He took out his dollars，and gave one to the man，and the other to his wife．

When Edward came home，his father asked what books he had bought．"I have bought no books，"said he，"I gave my money to some poor people，who seemed to be very hungry and tired．I think I can wait for my books till next New Year．""My dear boy，"said his father，"here are some books．I give them to you，more as a reward for your goodness of heart than as a New﹣year gift．"

"Always be ready to help people around you every year of your life will be a HAPPY NEW YEAR!"
