I was playing at the front gate, trying to decide whether to walk down the street to play with Jenny, when I saw a poor man coming up the road. 

"Hello, little girl, " he said, "is your mama at home?"

I nodded and opened the gate to let him get in the yard. He looked like all the homeless men who came to my home before. His messy hair hung below a shapeless hat, and his old shirt and trousers had been rained on and slept in. He smelled bad. 

He walked to the door. When my mother appeared, he asked, "Lady, could you spare something to eat?"

"I think so. Please sit on the step. "

Later, my mother came back and handed him a sandwich made from homemade bread and generous pieces of boiled meat. She also gave him a bottle of milk. "I thank you, lady, " he said. 

I played at the gate, watching the man wolf down the sandwich and empty the cup. After finishing the food, he stood up and walked back through the gate. "▲" he told me on the way out. 

Jenny had said all the homeless men told each other who would feed them. "They never come to my house!" she had said proudly and happily. 

"So why does Mama feed the poor man?" I wondered. I walked inside. "Jenny's mama says those men are too lazy to work. Why do we feed them?"

My mother smiled. "Sweetheart, we don't know why these men don't work, " she said, "but they were babies once. And their mamas loved them, just like I love you. " She put her hands on my shoulders and drew me close to her. 

"For me, I fed them for their mothers, because if you were ever hungry and had nothing to eat, I would want others' mothers to feed you. "

I seemed to find out the answer to my question and understand that. 

 It's Sunday today. Jack and his parents are free. So They go to the park(公园) for a picnic. They go there by car. Jack's father drives the car. They take some favorite food with them, such as chicken, hamburgers and cakes. They also take some orange juice and water. Jack's mom takes some apples and bananas, too. She says they are good for them.

 After lunch, they fly the kites. Jack has two kites and he likes flying kites very much. It's windy today. Jack's father helps him with the kites. The family are happy. Then they go to the zoo. They see many animals at the zoo. They are cute.
