One morning in August 2008, grandpa took me to Jinbai Supermarket to buy things. When I got home, I saw this scene: a beggar knelt on the ground and kowtowed to pedestrians, with a bowl in front of him. Whenever a pedestrian passes by, he will say, "Come on, I haven't eaten for days." But a beggar next to him waved a straw hat and shouted from time to time: "I sold a straw hat, one yuan 5 1 piece, come and buy it!" " "

I feel sorry for the beggar on my knees and want to pay him a few dollars. Grandpa saw my mind and quickly stopped in a low voice: "no, no!" " When I asked why, Grandpa whispered in my ear, "This kind of person who sells his dignity is not worthy of our sympathy."

After that, grandpa smiled and went to the beggar selling straw hats, handed him a cigarette and asked, "How much is this straw hat?" He smiled and replied, "One and a half, I'll give you a third." Grandpa said: "I bought eleven, and the unit price was originally one and a half, but later it rose to two." I buy one for my son, grandson and others. "He smiled shyly and said," Great! But ... I feel a little guilty. "

"I think you are much better than the person next to you. You earn money with your own hands, but he sells his dignity for money. You deserve our admiration. " Grandpa gave him a thumbs-up sign. "Eldest brother, I don't make money selling straw hats? Not worthy of admiration. " "Stop it. Well, this is 25 yuan. You can keep the change. "

On the way back, I thought a lot: people's knees are used to stand and walk, not to beg on their knees. A person should have dignity, and he can't easily sell his dignity for money. You must earn money by your own hands.
