Happiness is not asking for but sharing

Rather than saying that happiness is a request, it is better to say that happiness is sharing! We can only survive if we ask for it, but only when we give it can we really live.

I am a single mother with 4 children and earn a modest salary by work. I always have a tight hand, but the whole family's clothes, food, shelter, and transportation are still okay. Even if they are not so rich, they can still make a living. The children told me that in the past they did not feel that the family was poor, just thought that the mother was very angry. I have been very happy to hear them say this.

Christmas is here, and although we have no money to buy a lot of gifts, we plan to celebrate with our friends, family and friends. We drove to the city center for Christmas lights, enjoyed a special Christmas dinner, and decorated our home together.

However, the most exciting thing for children is to go to the mall to purchase Christmas gifts. They had been discussing the project for several weeks before asking about each other and what gifts their grandparents wanted. I am very worried about this because I only spent $120 for us to buy gifts.

An important day has arrived and we set off early. I gave each of the four children a $20 bill and reminded them to pick up about $4 for each family member. Everyone is dissolved.

We have 2 hours to purchase, but to the place where the "Santa Claus Factory" showcases.

On the way home by car, everyone was elated for Christmas, laughing and teasing each other to guess what gifts they had bought. However, my 8-year-old daughter, Qinge, is exceptionally quiet. I noticed that she only got a small, awkward bag after this shopping spree. Through the plastic bag, I saw that she only bought a few pieces of sugar) worth 50 cents! I am very angry. How did you spend the $20? I really want to bark at her, but I didn't say anything on the road. When I got home, I called her into the bedroom and closed the door. When I asked her, I wanted to get angry again. Here is what she said to me.

"I looked around and wondered what to buy. I went to the Christian family's 'love tree' and read the wish card above. One of them said that a 4 year old girl only wants A doll with clothes and hairbrush. I took the card, bought the little girl and sent it to the Salvation Army's donation office."

"The rest of the money is enough to buy sugar for everyone." Qin Ge went on to say: "We have so many gifts, but the little girl has nothing."

That day, I felt that I was the richest person.
