I was walking along a busy road when I noticed a young man standing near the crossing selling toys. Usually I would hurry past such sellers. But I found this young man was blind. I wanted to see how he sold his things, so I stood for some time without crossing the street.

Soon, a young mother with a little girl came by and the child set her eyes on one of the teddy bears. The mother asked about the price and it was only one dollar. She pulled out a 10-dollar note from her handbag and told the young man that she was giving him 10 dollars and wanted the change (零钱) back. I was wondering how he was going to do it. He told the young mother to put the money in the bag hanging around his neck and take out her change herself.

I realized that this young man believed people would not cheat him. There was no way for him to know whether someone would take out more than they should have. As a 30-year-old man, I was deeply moved. I bought a model car from him that I didn’t need. As I walked down the street, I gave the model car to a kid walking with his father.

I kept thinking that the world would be a better place if we could all learn to trust each other more, like the young blind street seller.
