My name is Sam. I joined a club called “passing help” last month. Now let me tell you why I joined it.

“Come on, sir,” she said, “Let’s go.”
On the way she told me a story. A few days ago, there wasn’t gas（汽油）in her car. An old man drove her up to a gas station and then back to her car.
When we got to my home, I wanted to give her some money to thank her, but she didn’t accept it. “I only want to help others and do something nice for somebody. Pass it along.” She said.

That day I sat on a shelf in a toy shop and looked out of the window as usual. Little children were passing in front of the toy shop. Sometimes they stopped by the window and looked at the toys and choose one or two for buying, but it didn’t make me happy because I knew that no one wished to buy me. I was a lonely poor teddy (泰迪熊) bear. They put me on a shelf in a corner of the toy shop and forgot about me. Then I became disappointed, sad, and alone because little children didn’t pay attention to me and pushed me away when they were looking for beautiful toys.
One day a girl and her father were by passing the shop. Suddenly, she stopped and looked at the toys. By her clothes, I could tell they were not rich. She was about eight years old, thin, and sweet. They entered the shop. She searched the shelves and suddenly her eyes stopped at me. She reached out to take me and looked at me carefully. She said “daddy, I found a beautiful cheap teddy”. So they paid half price and cleaned me up. I have never been happier because I have an angel (天使) to care for me.

2 You can even jump on it.
It uses very little power (能量) 3 . It is very light. You can take it around easily. You can take it when you have a holiday or when you need to work in the outside for a long time. And you don’t need to worry about the batteries.
