My friend had mentioned that her father had a lot of children’s toys that he was looking to give away. She knew I had a three-year-old daughter so she thought of me first. I told her I wouldit if I could get some nice things for my daughter, which I wouldn’t otherwise have been able to. When I met her father, he began to explain that he wasonce too and that he would hate tothings that could be very. At first, he thought of taking everything to the Salvation Army but then heto see if anyone he knew could use them first. When he wasme around, I saw a bed, a slide(滑板), a kitchen set and many other things that made me surprised. As my eyes were wide and beginning to tear up a bit, he told me not to feel guilty. He said I washim by getting rid of them. As I was looking around, I did feel guilty, but I tried to remain more grateful than guilty because he told me to. Every time I tried tohim for giving my daughter all thesethings, he would thank me right back and was grateful that these toys would be put to good use. So, sometimes when we are helped by others, the others that helped us are helped as a side-effect. In theof charity, it makes sense to feel grateful, but guilt is just as normal, I know we could have lived without a slide, which is why I do feel guilty, but I am grateful all the same because my daughterenjoys all these nice things!
