He held up a sign which said: “I am blind, please help.” There were only a few coins in the hat. A man was walking by. He took a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by would see the new words.Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked: “Were you the one who changed my sign this morning? What did you write?” The man said: “I only wrote the truth. I said what you said but in a different way.” What he had written was: “Today is a beautiful day but I cannot see it.”Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing?Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply told people to help by putting some money in the hat. The second sign told people that they were able to enjoy the day, but the boy could not enjoy it because he was blind.The first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign reminded people they were lucky that they were not blind.There are at least two lessons we can learn from this simple story.The first is: Be thankful for what you have.

Our mother, however, would not let us eat the chocolates like we wanted. The chocolate bunnies, and candy eggs would have to wait. Instead, we would have to get dressed in our new clothes.Then my family would go to church. After church we would go to an elder family members house for a feast(盛会). My mothers family came to the US from Eastern Europe, so we would often eat many traditional dishes. My favorite was ham and a special potato salad. We usually had 20 or more family members at the dinner.After dinner my cousins, brothers and I would go outside. While we were sleeping the night before, our parents had hidden plastic eggs throughout the back yard. We would always have a contest to see who could find the most eggs.
