Sally was a little lonely girl．She always thought she was not as pretty as her classmates，and that nobody liked her．So she didn't like to talk to others and always felt unhappy．

One day，her mother bought her a beautiful hair clip and asked her to wear it．She looked much more beautiful than before．She was very happy and decided to wear it to school．

On her way to school she saw everyone smile at her．Most of her schoolmates even said hello to her．But this had never happened before! She thought the hair clip brought all of them to her．She was so happy about all of the wonderful things．Although she didn't tell her classmates about her clip，they all wanted to know what had happened to her．

When she came back after school，her mother asked her “Did you know you dropped your hair clip? I found it on your dresser this morning．”

Dear editor，

Once I went to the post office to buy some stamps．When I was ready to leave，someone came up to me．I looked up and found an old man with dirty clothes．He was a scramp-collector（捡废品的人）．I instinctively（本能地）stepped backward，because I was in my clean school uniforms．

He wanted to send some money home but he didn't know how to fill out the form．He wanted me to help him．“But you can ask the cashier there．” I answered impatiently（不耐烦）．

“I have asked her．But I don't understand her instructions．W0uld you please help me?” Just then，my mobile phone rang．It was a good excuse to refuse him．Hopelessly and sadly he went away and tried to find someone else to help him．

When I came out of the post office I became very upset．How couldn't refuse someone in need of help，especially such an old scramp-collector．Was it because he was old，poor and dirty?

I want to say sorry to him in this newspaper．It's been on my mind for a long time．And I hope to feel better by doing this．

Yours，

Lily
