An Unexpected Gift
Twelve-year-old
Mathew Flores is different from other kids. He loves junk (垃圾) mail, and these
advertisements were the only reading materials 1 to him. Once he asked his mailman if he could
offer him some.
The
question 2 the mailman. He asked the boy the reason, and
then recorded his 3 in his Facebook. "Today while delivering
mail, I saw a boy reading ads, and he asked me for extra mail. Actually he
wants to go to the library, but his family is very poor and can't 4 the bus."
The
mailman then asked his Facebook friends if they could 5 some books for the boy. He wrote, "Most
kids want electronic products! But what he wants is books. It's great to see
his rare 6, and you may have seen him smile when I
said I could help him!" "He is counting on me," he concluded. "So
I am counting on you!"
The
mailman thought the Facebook post might 7 50 to 60 books. But his 8 was passed on quickly. People from around the
world, including the UK, Australia and India, have sent books. Hundreds of
books have been delivered to the boy's door, with hundreds more 9 on their way.
When
books first started arriving, Flores was shocked by what happened. "I
thought they were 10, but they indeed were for me." He
says that he can't wait to share the books with other kids, and has promised to
read every one.
