I used to live selfishly, I should admit(承认). But one changed me.
I was on my lunch break and had the office to get something to eat . On the way, I saw a Busker(街头艺人)，with a hat in front of him. I had some in my pocket but I would not give them to him, thinking to myself he would use the money to take drugs or drink too much. He like that type-young and ragged（衣衫褴褛）. But what was I going to spend the money on ? Only to buy a can of Coca-Cola or chocolate! I then realized I had no right to place myself above him just because he was busking.
I and dropped all the coins into his hat, and he smiled at me, I watched for a while. As selfish as it sounds, I looked forward to something more to come from that moment—a feeling of or satisfaction, for example. But nothing happened. Disappointedly, I walked off.“It proved to be a waste of ,”I thought.
On my way home at the end of the , I saw the busker again and he was packing up . I watched him pick up the hat and walk to a cafe counter. There he poured the total contents into a tin collecting for an earthquake fund-raising event. He was busking for charity！
Now I donate any I have to charity tins and enjoy the feeling of giving.
