山西省永济市涑北中学高三英语总复习：美文欣赏（2）（The Grace of Life）

　　A girl was dissatisfied with her mother's chattering，so in rage she rushed out of her home and wandered in the street alone full of grievance．

　　Just as she was hungry and thirsty，an old man beckoned her to his home and gave her a bowl of meal．The girl was moved to tears and told him about her grievance．

　　With that，the old man shook his head and said，“While you’re being grateful to me for my giving you a bowl of meal，have you thought of the person who've been giving you？”the girl became speechless at once．

　　At times，when a person thanks the others for their offering a bit of bounty，he or she always forgets the maximum kindness he or she gets．
