One day, I saw a luxurious car surrounded by a crowd of people, everyone craned their necks to see who was in the car. A man in a suit and a woman dressed coquettishly(妖艷地) came out the car and was anxiously asking people to help them fix the car. It turned out that there was something wrong with the car engine. They said they would provide a great reward if anyone could fix the car for them. Then the man took out one hundred dollars and shouted, “This will be given to the one who helps me fix the car.”

One young guy beside me, who wanted to try to fix the car, was pulled back by his partner; his partner said, “Do not believe what the rich people say.” At that time a child was walking by and said, “Let me give it a try.” It was so simple that it took less than one minute for the child to fix the car.

After the car was fixed, the man in suit took out his wallet. Just when he was about to hand one hundred dollar note to the boy, the woman shouted, “Are you really going to give him one hundred? Five will be enough.” The woman handed a five dollar note to the boy, but the boy shook his head and rejected the money. The man thought the boy was angry, so handed another five. The boy still shook his head, which made the man a little mad, “Do you still think it is not enough? If so, you will get nothing.” “No sir, we do not ask for pay when we help others. So I am just waiting for you to say thank you.”

02 Translation 參考中文翻譯

那天，我看見一大群人圍著一輛高檔車，個個伸長了脖子往裡張望。轎車裡走出身穿名牌西裝的男人以及一位打扮妖豔的女子，焦急地問誰能幫他修一下車子， 原來他車子引擎出了問題。他們說只要能夠修好車子的人，必會重賞。男子掏出一百元，大喊道：『誰把車修好，這錢就是他的了！』我身旁一位想要試圖修修看的小夥子動了一下，卻被同伴拉住：『有錢人的話不能信。』這時剛好有一個小孩走了過去，說：『讓我來試試吧！』小孩不到一分鐘就修好了。車子修好後，穿著西裝的男人拿出了皮夾，正當他要掏出一百元給小男孩時， 那位女人大聲地說：『你還真想給他 100 元啊？給他 2 元已經夠多了！』女人拿了 2 元給男孩，男孩搖了搖頭，拒收了她的錢。男人以為男孩生氣，就再給了他 2 元。男孩還是搖頭，這讓男人有些生氣了：『你再嫌少，連這 10 元也沒有了！』小孩回答到：『幫助別人是不需要酬勞的，我是在等你說謝謝！』
