Barefoot and dirty，the girl just sat and watched the people go by．She never tried to speak．Many people passed，but never did one person stop．
The next day I decided to go back to the park，curious to see if the little girl would still be there．Right in the very spot as she was yesterday，she sat with the saddest look in her eyes．
Today I was to make my own move and walk over to the little girl．As we all know，a park full of strange people is not a place for young children to play alone．
As I began walking towards her，I could see the back of the little girl’s dress indicated a deformity（畸形）．I smiled to let her know it was okay，I was there to help，to talk．I sat down beside her and opened with a simple “Hello”．I smiled and she shyly smiled back．We talked until darkness fell and the park was completely empty．I asked the girl why she was so sad．The little girl looked at me and with a sad face said，“Because I’m different．”

Anyway，it seemed that the girl had told many of her friends，and now they were all at me．They found a great to think of all the other supposed“crimes”I'd committed over the past year． they'd all really liked me before, suddenly they I was a really bad guy．
