A few days ago, I received a parcel from my dear sister. That was a blouse which can be bought in nearly every city as it belongs to a chain store, plain but quite fits me. I have a rather bad smell of beautiful clothes suiting me. I could count on one hand the times that others gave compliments to clothes bought by myself. But I ’m lucky enough to depend on my sister who has a good taste in clothes and all, she is willing to give anything to me without reward .
However, the sparkle of the parcel is not the blouse but a cup. When I opened the parcel, to my great surprise, an ordinary cup jumped into my sight, bringing me both astonishment and amusement. I thought that may be a “get another thing for free” product and out of my sister’s use , so it got the chance to travel a few kilometres to have a new master. Just at that point, my sister phoned me to ask if I had received the parcel. I said yes and jokingly referred to that cup. Then my heart got a strong beat by her words. Unexpectedly but as sure as fate, she bought the cup specially for me. She remembered once when we were doing shopping together in my hometown, I wanted to buy such a cup but failed for I didn’t want to bother myself to take an unnecessary stuff to travel a long way. But she still kept this small accident in mind and took the opportunity to fulfill my temporary wish.
When I observed this lake – blue cup again, it was no longer ordinary. By streerlights it shimmered with the sincerity and faithfullness that my sister has been offering to me . Gradually blinded by the alienation in the society, I found I am still able to be touched.
My sister may never imagine an inexpensive cup can create such a great magic with me. But I know the reason. It ’ s not the amount that matters, but rather the thought and care behind that golden parcel that has the greatest impact. |
