In a big shopping center, a little girl is sitting on a bench alone. She does not move. It seems that she is lost.
After some time, a man walks up to her. He is a father himself, so he feels worried about this little girl. "Hello," he says. "Are you OK? Are your parents here with you?"
The little girl does not even look up at him! He gently sits down next to her and touches her shoulder(肩膀). Now she raises her head, and he can see that she is crying. He feels terrible!
He gives her a very warm smile and holds out his hand. She looks afraid, but she takes his hand.
He takes her to the shopping center information desk and makes an announcement(广播).
"Attention: a young girl is waiting for her parents at the information desk. If you are looking for your daughter, please come soon! Thank you. "
Minutes later, a woman comes running toward the desk. As soon as she sees the little girl, she shouts and runs up to her. She holds the girl into her arms tightly(紧紧地).
Then she turns to the man and says, "Thank you so much, sir. I was looking for her everywhere. I could not announce it here because she is deaf(聋的)"
Now the man understands why the little girl did not look at him until he touched her shoulder. He feels happy that he helped her.
