going shopping on a holiday
Tr’s review
My Chinese school was closed for a month, so I decided to go shopping with my sister to get
the things we needed. We caught a bus to the shopping mall, but unfortunately, that mall was
also closed for a month. So, we made the decision to go to another shopping
Fortunately, this second shopping mall was still open. As we entered, we noticed a beggar
sitting in front of the entrance, asking for food. It was unusual for me because I had never seen
a beggar who was specifically asking for food.
Out of kindness, I bought a hamburger and a coke for him and also gave him some money to
buy food. Meanwhile, my sister informed me that she had a stomach ache, so she called our
mother to pick her up. I made a note of the things she needed.
Finally, I finished my shopping, and to my surprise, the beggar I had helped turned out to be a
billionaire. He explained that he had acted like a beggar as part of a bet with his friend, and
unfortunately, he had lost the bet.
In the end, he thanked me for helping him by giving me some money and even offered me a
house as a token of his gratitude.
