It was very cold and I had been watching a homeless man make himself comfortable in a shelter on the river bank. His shelter was a tarpaulin(油布)tied to rocks to keep the wind from blowing it away. He had been living there for over a month. I never saw him with warm clothing or food. I knew what I wanted to do.
When I told my parents my plan they were alarmed. They said I could be putting myself at risk, taking a box to a homeless person at night! But I knew, in my deep heart, that I would be safe.
I got a box. My parents watched as I added warm gloves, a heavy blanket … into a box until it was full! Then, I put a Christmas card on top. It said, ---Even though we hardly know each other, I want to wish you a Merry Christmas! I put ten one-dollar bills inside it as well.
My father insisted he went there with me as it was 10 pm on Christmas Eve. I said he could drive me but he had to stay in the car. He agreed. I took the box and walked towards his “house”. I called.
---Sir, I have a Christmas box for you! ---Go away! he shouted. ---Sir, I repeated. ---Go away! he shouted. ---Why? I asked him.
He walked over and I saw two of the most beautiful, gentle, blue eyes I have ever seen.
---Merry Christmas! I said.
---Why are you doing this? he asked.
---Because you matter to me, I said. With that I gave him the box.
Tears came to his eyes and he thanked me. I got back to the car and watched him
