An Unexpected Gift
Twelve-year-old Mathew Flores is different from other kids. He loves junk (垃圾) mail, and these advertisements were the only reading materials 1 to him. Once he asked his mailman if he could offer him some.
The question 2 the mailman. He asked the boy the reason, and then recorded his 3 in his Facebook. “Today while delivering mail, I saw a boy reading ads, and he asked me for extra mail. Actually he wants to go to the library, but his family is very poor and can’t 4 the bus.”
The mailman then asked his Facebook friends if they could 5 some books for the boy. He wrote, “Most kids want electronic products! But what he wants is books. It’s great to see his rare 6 , and you may have seen him smile when I said I could help him!” “He is counting on me,” he concluded. “So I am counting on you!”
The mailman thought the Facebook post might 7 50 to 60 books. But his 8 was passed on quickly. People from around the world, including the UK, Australia and India, have sent books. Hundreds of books have been delivered to the boy’s door, with hundreds more 9 on their way.
When books first started arriving, Flores was shocked by what happened. “I thought they were 10 , but they indeed were for me.” He says that he can’t wait to share the books with other kids, and has promised to read every one.
