Friday, and all students to participate in the first form of a disaster for the victims of typhoon Yinmolake fund-raising ceremony. Original contributions, and no feelings, only to see contributions from other classmates, I also can not donate, so they donated 10, an option for me, no heart.

But when I heard the president's speech, between asleep and my heart was deeply shocked.

I wonder if you have not heard a story about an American girl.



Not money, is the heart



February 16, 2007, just the outgoing United Nations Secretary General Kofi Annan, in an estate in Texas, held a charity dinner to raise money for the poor children in Africa. Invited to attend the dinner are wealthy businessmen and celebrities. Dinner will begin at the time, an old woman leading a little girl came to the entrance of the manor, a man carrying a little girl looked very elegant Ciguan.

Keep the security in the estate at the entrance of this old Anthony stopped a little. "Welcome to you, please show invitations, thank you." Anthony said.

"Invitation? Sorry, we do not receive an invitation for her to come, I come with her." The old woman stroking the girl's head against Anthony said.

"I'm sorry, in addition to staff, who can not go in without invitation." Anthony said.

"Why? This is not charity dinner? We are to express our minds, could not it?" The old woman's face is very serious, "cute little Lucy, from television here for Africa fund-raising children, she wanted to do something for those poor children, decided to own all of the money to save money jar out. I can not go, do not let her go in? "

"Yes, here at a charity dinner to be invited to participate are very important people, their generosity for African children.'m Glad you came here with love, but I think this occasion is not You go in for. "Anthony explained.

"Uncle, charity is not money, is the heart, right?" Has not been asked to speak a little girl Lucy Anthony. Her words to Anthony stared.

"I know people who have been invited to a lot of money, they will come up with a lot of money, I do not so much, but this is all my Qiana, if I really can not go, please help me put this into the Go!" Small girl Lucy finished, the hands of the piggy bank and handed Anthony.

Anthony did not know then whether or not connected, is overwhelmed when he suddenly someone said: "No, child, you are right, charity is not money, is the heart! You can go all the caring people can go. "is an old man talking, he smiling, standing beside a small Lucy. He bent and small Lucy exchanged a few words, and then straightened up and handed out an invitation Anthony: "I can take her in there?"

Anthony received the invitation, opened it, who hastily saluted the old man: "Yes, of course, Mr. Warren Buffett."

The leading charity dinner that day, not fund-raising proponents Annan, not to donate three million U.S. dollars of Buffett, not Bill Gates to donate 8 million U.S. dollars, but only to donate 30 U.S. dollars and 25 cents for a small Lucy, she won the largest number of the most enthusiastic applause. The dinner has become a slogan that read: "Charity is not money, is the heart." The next day, major U.S. media have resorted to these words as the title, reports the charity dinner. According to reports, many ordinary Americans have said that for Africa to donate to those poor children.
