From the first day he entered my junior-high classroom, Willard P. Franklin lived in his own , shutting out his classmates and me, his teacher. I tried to build a relationship with him but he showed no interest. Even a “Good Morning Willar” received only a grunt(咕哝) that couldn’t be . Willard was a loner(孤独的人) who seemed to have no hope or need to break silence.
Shortly after the Thanksgiving holiday, we received the news of the annual(每年的) Christmas collection of money for the less people in our school district.“Christmas is a season of giving ,” I told my students. “There are a few students in the school who might not have a happy holiday season. donating our Christmas collection, you will help buy food, clothing and toys for these needy people. We start the collection tomorrow.”
When I called for the donations the next day, I discovered that everyone had forgotten, except Willard P. Franklin. The boy dug deep into his pants pockets he walked up to my desk. Carefully, he two coins into the small box.
“I don’t need milk for lunch,” he said quietly . For a moment, just a moment, he smiled . Then he turned and walked back to his desk.
That night, after school, I took our donations to the school principal. I couldn’t sharing the incident(事件) that had taken place.
“I may be wrong, but I believe Willard might be getting ready to become a part of the world around him,” I told the principal.
“Yes, I believe it is hopeful for him to get out of his own world,” he nodded. “And I think we can do something to have him a bit of his world with us. I just received a list of the poor families in our school who most need help through the Christmas collection. Here, take a look at it.”
As I read, I discovered Willard P. Franklin and his family were the top names on the list.

Hello Sandy,
We have just come back from our vacation. We went with our friends Edward Smith and his wife Tina to the Yorkshire Moors. This is a beautiful place. It is a park. There are lots of places to walk on the tops of the hills, miles of grassland with people, just sheep and birds.
Edward, who had just come out of , could not walk as far as he used to. However this meant that we walked in the mornings, and then at a cafe for lunch each day before going back to the place we lived. Edward and I in front of the fire all afternoon, while the ladies went for walk. Very pleasant!
Yesterday we had the first snow of this winter. It was very (we usually expect snow in January). It was all day, then snowed in the evening. Today we have bright sunshine!
Both Jenny and I are well. I don’t know if I told you in the last , that Jenny is now working in a hotel. Although she has to work hard, people there are nice and she is the work.
Please write to tell us your news.
Yours,
Victor
