Across the stree
2、t from the church was a Pan American gas station where the Greyhound bus stopped. It was closed for Christmas, but I noticed a family standing outside the locked door, huddled under the narrow overhang in an attempt to keep dry. I wondered briefly why they were there but then forgot about them as I
3、raced to keep up with Jill. Once we got home, there was barely time to enjoy our presents. We had to go off to our grandparents house for our annual Christmas dinner. As we drove down the highway through town, I noticed that the family was still there, standing outside the closed gas station. My fat

Suddenly, my father U-turned in the middle of the road and said, I cant stand it! What? asked my mother. Its those people back there at the Pan Am, standing in the rain.
5、 Theyve got children. Its Christmas. I cant stand it. When my father pulled into the service station, I saw that there were five of them: the parents and three children - two girls and a small boy. My father rolled down his window. Merry Christmas, he said. Howdy, the man replied. He was very tall a
6、nd had to stoop slightly to peer into the car. Jill, Sharon, and I stared at the children, and they stared back at us. You waiting on the bus? my father asked. The man said that they were. They were going to Birmingham, where he had a brother and prospects of a job. Well, that bus isnt going to come
7、 along for several hours, and youre getting wet standing here. Winborns just a couple miles up the road. Theyve got a shed with a cover there, and some benches, my father said. Why dont yall get in the car and Ill run you up there. The man thought about it for a moment, and then he beckoned to his f
8、amily. They climbed into the car. They had no luggage, only the clothes they were wearing. Once they settled in, my father looked back over his shoulder and asked the children if Santa had found them yet. Three glum faces mutely gave him his answer. Well, I didnt think so, my father said, winking at
9、 my mother, because when I saw Santa this morning, he told me that he was having trouble finding all, and he asked me if he could leave your toys at my house. Well just go get them before I take you to the bus stop. All at once, the three childrens faces lit up, and they began to bounce around in th
10、e back seat, laughing and chattering. When we got out of the car at our house, the three children ran through the front door and straight to the toys that were spread out under our Christmas tree. One of the girls spied Jills doll and immediately hugged it to her breast. I remember that the little b
11、oy grabbed Sharons ball. And the other girl picked up something of mine. All this happened a long time ago, but the memory of it remains clear. That was the Christmas when my sisters and I learned the joy of making others happy. My mother noticed that the middle child was wearing a short-sleeved dre
12、ss, so she gave the girl Jills only sweater to wear. My father invited them to join us at our grandparents for Christmas dinner, but the parents refused. Even when we all tried to talk them into coming, they were firm in their decision. Back in the car, on the way to Winborn, my father asked the man
13、 if he had money for bus fare. His brother had sent tickets, the man said. My father reached into his pocket and pulled out two dollars, which was all he had left until his next payday. He pressed the money into the mans hand. The man tried to give it back, but my father insisted. Itll be late when
14、you get to Birmingham, and these children will be hungry before then. Take it. Ive been broke before, and I know what its like when you cant feed your family. We left them there at the bus stop in Winborn. As we drove away, I watched out the window as long as I could, looking back at the little gihu

16、奶奶家的分岔路口,車子就越慢。突然,爸爸在半路中途來了個(gè)180度轉(zhuǎn)彎,把車子原路駛回,他說:我實(shí)在不忍心! 什么?媽媽問他。 那幾個(gè)在雨中站在泛美油站外的人。他們還帶著小孩呢。圣誕節(jié)當(dāng)前,我真的不忍心啊。 爸爸把車開到油站旁停下,我看見那一家總共有5個(gè)人:父母倆和三個(gè)孩子-兩個(gè)女孩跟一個(gè)小男孩。 爸爸搖下車窗對(duì)他們說:圣誕開心! 你好,那個(gè)男人回了一句。他長得很高,要稍微彎下腰來往我們車?yán)锴?。我和吉爾、莎倫盯著那幾個(gè)小孩,他們也瞪眼看著我們。 你們?cè)诘绕噯?爸爸問他們。 男人回復(fù)說是,他們準(zhǔn)備去伯明翰,他有個(gè)哥哥在那邊,而且期望能謀到一份工作。 汽車起碼要好幾個(gè)小時(shí)后才到這里,站在這兒等車你
17、們都會(huì)淋濕的。往前幾英里就是溫邦站,那兒有個(gè)棚屋,有地方避雨,還有些板凳。不如上車我送你們到那里吧。 男人想了一下然后示意他家人過來。他們鉆進(jìn)車?yán)?,除了身上穿著的衣服,他們沒有任何行李。 等他們坐好了,爸爸轉(zhuǎn)過頭來問那幾個(gè)孩子,圣誕老人找到他們沒有。三張惆悵的臉無聲地回復(fù)了他。 我看不是吧,爸爸邊說邊向媽媽眨眼示意,早上我碰見圣誕老人了,他說找不到你們,想把給你們的禮物暫時(shí)放到我們家里來?,F(xiàn)在咱們就去拿禮物吧,待會(huì)兒我再送你們?nèi)ボ囌尽?三個(gè)孩子的臉即刻陰霾盡散,還在后排座位蹦蹦跳跳,笑笑嚷嚷起來。 到了我家一下車,那三個(gè)孩子穿過大門就直奔擺在圣誕樹下的禮物。其中一個(gè)小女孩發(fā)現(xiàn)了吉爾的洋娃娃禮物,立刻把它抱入懷中。我記得那小男孩抓走了莎倫的小球,而另外一個(gè)女孩就挑走了一件我的東西。這些都是很久很久以前的事了,然而回憶起來還是那么清楚,由于在那個(gè)圣誕日我和我的姐妹領(lǐng)會(huì)到了讓別人開心而獲得的愉悅。 媽媽看到他們家老二穿著的裙子是短袖的,便把吉爾僅有的毛衣給了她穿。 爸爸邀請(qǐng)他們一起去爺爺奶奶家吃圣誕大餐,但他們兩夫婦拒絕了。就算怎么游說,他們還是堅(jiān)拒了我們的好意。 回到車?yán)镌谌匕畹穆飞习职謫柲悄腥擞袥]有錢買車票。 他說哥哥寄了車
