On a cold winter day in the city of Oslo,an 11﹣year﹣old boy,Johannes,was shivering(哆嗦)with his arms around himself on a bus stop bench(长凳).He wasn't wearing a coat and the temperature fell to﹣10C It was heartbreaking to see him in such a difficult situation.But the actions of the common people around him were joyous and encouraging.
A young woman who sat next to the boy noticed him and asked,"Don't you have a coat?""No,someone stole it,"he replied.She questioned him and discovered he was on a school trip and was told to meet his teacher at the bus stop.She asked him the name of his school and where he was from as she put her own coat around his shoulders.
Later,another woman gave him her scarf,and then wrapped(裹)him in her large jacket.
More and more people offered Johannes their gloves and even the coats of their backs as they waited for the bus. Johannes's difficulty was a hidden camera test by Norwegian(挪成的)charity Children's Village.It wanted to send much﹣needed Coats to help the Syrian(叙利亚的)children get through the winter.May of herefuges(难民)had left their homes without winter clothes."People should care as much about children in Syria as they care about the boy,"Synne Running,the information head of SOS Children's Village Norway,told The Local.She also said that the child was a volunteer who was never in any danger during the test.
