    Some people like to collect stamps. Others prefer posters or coins. But Pinky Bhutia is different. She collects children. In her mountain village, in Sikkim, she is known as the wonderful young woman who adopts(领养) all the children she can.

    Pinky was 14 when she adopted her first child, a Nepali baby girl, whose patents passed away. Pinky's parents did not mind. Pinky left school and started working full time because she had a baby to feed. Today , she has twelve adopted children, and two sons from her marriage.

    Pinky is about 30 years old and she comes from a common family. If you passed her on the street, you wouldn't give her a second look. She lives in a brown mud-washed(泥刷的) house. There is a vegetable garden outside. Red hens with noisy chicks run all over the garden looking for food.

    If you ask her why she provides a home for so many kids, she smiles shyly. But her eyes are serious. "I know what it is to be poor and hungry." As a child, her only dream was to eat a full meal, and her favorite amusement was watching people with shoes and imagining what it felt like. By adopting poor and homeless children she is making sure that they never feel that hopeless.

    Pinky feels very proud when she sees her children happy and bright, her oldest baby, Aarita Rai, is now 20 years old, Then, there is 19-year-old Nimbe who came to Pinky because her mother was unable to look after her. She started to work in a government office two years ago. Ten-year-old Bhim and 14-year-old Kumar came to Pinky five years ago, after their father's death. They started living on a patch of land given by Pinky and grew vegetables for sale.

    "I like children. It's not one more mouth to feed but one more soul saved," Pinky says.

Five years ago,I worked in an office. The work was easy and I enjoyed it. One day at lunch,I went out to buy a hamburger in a store near a park. It was sunny so I decided to eat it in the park.

I saw some people making a movie there. It looked like that they were having some problems. Then they looked at me and two of them walked to me!They said that one of their actors hadn't come. "He only has one line in the story,"they said. "Would you like to have a try?"

I'd never done any acting in my life,but I said yes. An hour later we finished. It was so interesting. The people thanked me and gave me some money for my time. As I was leaving,the director(导演)came over and gave me his card. He said I could be a good actor. I was happy and I told him I would call him sometime.

Well,I did call him. And I went for an audition(试镜)for another short movie by the same director. And I got the work.

Two years later,I left my office work and I'm now working as an actor. I love the work and I'm going to a school next year to study acting.

My life is now different. And it's all because of the lunch in the park!Life is full of surprises and you never know what will happen.
