Every so often, a kind-hearted woman or a small child would drop a few coins in the hats which lay in front of them on the icy sidewalk. Some people, feeling particularly generous, would even pull out a bill or two from their wallets and drop them into the beggars' hats and then continued their walking.

　　Today was not a bad day for begging. The men were able to collect enough for a decent meal at the coffee shop down the street and a few candles to light up their shelter in the alley behind the train station. As the crowd began to die down, they started to pack up their bundles and head for their evening shelter.

　　Just as they were getting ready to leave the street corner, they noticed a man walking toward them. He was obviously a wealthy man—they could tell that from the finely tailored business suit he was wearing and the gold watch chain that adorned(裝飾) his left pocket.

　　The first beggar looked at the second and whispered with excitement, “He's coming our way！”but they couldn't help gazing up with anticipation as he reached into his pocket and took something out.

　　The beggar picked up the object with the very tips of his fingers and threw it into the gutter. He watched as it floated a few yards in the stream of muddy water and disappeared into the drain at the end of the street. Then, he gathered up his things and walked away.

　　The second beggar looked down at the_morsel_in_his_hat,_then at his departing friend. His first impulse was to toss the donation in the trash can under the street light. But his second thought made him change his mind.

　　“I haven't had anything like this for ages，” he thought. “I can't chew it, but I can suck on it for a while, and the sugary juices will stay in my mouth for a long time. How nice of that man to offer me something so sweet.”then paused as his hands touched the white tissue paper inside. “Maybe I should save it for another time，” he thought. “It won't spoil, and I could eat it later when I'm really hungry.”oment, then he said aloud, “He wanted me to have it anyway. I might as well enjoy it now.”

　　With that, he unfolded the white tissue paper, but to his surprise, there was no hard rock candy inside. Instead, into his fingers fell a shiny white pearl worth thousands of dollars.
