What a fancy, what an imagination...What impressed me most was the two Thanksgiving gentleman, which made me truly appreciate the charm of human nature.
The story tells of two American gentlemen. One who cant be called a gentleman. He can only be said to be a poor man who has been hungry all the year round. Between them, there is a strange agreement -- the annual Thanksgiving Day.On that day,the poor will sit in the third federal fountain square opposite the pavement next to the east entrance which is on the right side of the bench, wait for the arrival of the old gentleman. Then the old gentleman came with the hungry poor meal. This is a sacred agreement between them. For the old gentleman, a meal is not worth mentioning, but he did find fun from the help. And the purpose of the poor is not entirely in the meal, more important is to make the old man happy as he wished.This tradition has been lasted for nine years.This is the tenth year of Thanksgiving Day. The poor is on the way to the date site. But something unexpected happened. On the way, the poor meet a residential housekeeper outside a door and the poor can be provided with a big meal.
